Im running 255/45/17 Nittos and they pull like a MOFO. Its not so much that its 255 VS 275 is the fact that you have 17" rims. Its the price we pay for having bigger rims, the 17's and 18's on the front.

According to the guys over at Corner Carvers who tend to be dead on the money, the problem is our mushy ass A arm bushings. Apparently when you replace them with poly ones, this problem gets a whole lot better. If you're lowered, it could also be a problem with the angle of your steering arms which can be corrected with a bump steer kit.

I noticed the car doesn't pull as much when I put my stock wheels back on the other day with 255's. But I did notice how much better handling was with the 275's. I say stick with the 275's.

I have 245/45/17 BFG KDW's on the front and don't have that pulling effect. Had the same size Ventus crapola's and they pulled like the car needed alignment and handled like s**t.
