Need to be careful in tire sizing if your car has ABS. Tires not close in diameter can do bad things to ABS. For the Hankook as long as you can fit the 245/40/18 on the front with the 275/35/18 on the rear your diameter is basically the same. However I would not run the 225/40/18 on the front.

So you're saying you would not run the 225/40/18 in front with the 275/35/18 in the rear, together?

Yes that is what I am saying. They have a 1/2" difference in Diameter.

I'm likely to switch to slicks this season, and was quite interested in the comments about this model, but it appears (from the Tire Rack website) that the Z214 is not available in the sizes needed for my 993 wheels -- 205/50/17 and 255/40/17.

So alternative suggestions (other than to instead spend the money on additional instruction)?

Thanks,
