A wider Pirelli P Zero tire just for the back ?
I have the stock 19" wheels on my my GT with the Pirelli P Zero tires wich are p245/45/19 and was thinking of just going with a wider tire in the back only and stick with Pirellis so they will match, what would you suggest ?

Same question for my 12 V6 with performance package...I believe these only have the 19 x 8.5 inch wheel instead of 9 inch like the GT. I always like the look of the slightly wider tire in the back...

The stock 19" GT wheels, and the PP V6 wheels are 8.5" wide. The widest tire approved to fit an 8.5" wide wheel is the 255/40/19.
Now with the 255/40/19 tire being a 40-series instead a 45-series tire like the stock 245/45/19 tires, it's overall height is shorter by approx 2/3".

With the amount of driving I do each day, I like the ability of rotating tires to get the maximum life/mileage out of them. Increasing the rear slightly would eliminate that.
