What tires for the front?

I plan on running 255 70/16 on the rear, but just curious as to what size I should run on the front. Without PS, I'm not sure I want to run 255's on the front.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Richard

The 255/70/16's are 30" tall & 10" wide. If you wanna go a little smaller & narrower on the front, a 225/70/16 will give you 28.4" tall & 8.86" wide.
You can play around with this calculator and see what's out there: Tire Size Calculator
