I see that there is a range of front tire size being selected throughout the tire threads - 235(/50)s in this instance, 245s and 255s for others. Comments on this? Might as well chime in on 275/60 vs 295/50 for the rear while we are having the discussion. What really fits best on each end?
Also wondering if MT offers a white letter option? I have old Goodyears now, and like the look of the white lettering. I don't think I am interested in doing a billboard conversion on my own...

I have had the MT SR's and ST's on my car. With the SR's I had the 26x10x15 on front and the 28x12x15 on the rear. I was never able to get the rear ride height lowered to my satisfaction without having rubbing issues. I ordered a pair of the 26x12x15's for the rear but never put them on because the height of the tire was shorter than I wanted. I ended up buying the 255/60-15 and 295/55-15 ST's which are on my car now and I've been very happy with them. I feel that the SR's were a little stickier (MT doesn't give them a TW rating) but I have autocrossed with the ST's and they work pretty well. (ST's have a 440TW rating). Also, you said you like the white lettering. The ST's do have white lettering, the SR's do not.
