Does anyone run Avon 275/55VR15 in the rear?

Well, the Yoko Avid's are aging out after about 10 years. It was close, in terms of mileage wear out, 2,000 +/- miles or 10 years.

I was getting ready to order a set of Avons and everyone and their brother run the Avon 295/50VR15 in back, but an expert source tells me that the Avon 275/55VR15's will ever-so-slightly handle better. But the 295's are for looks! Personally, I don't care.

Also, there's about 0.6" difference in section width, so won't the smaller size in the rear throw less rocks?

As Evan used to say, my car is going in for a "spa treatment" in the next couple weeks and new tires are on the list.

I took it out last weekend, for the first time in a long time, and of course, I get all the same comments from onlookers. "What is that?" "How much does it cost?" "Is that paint?" and then a UPS driver struck up a 15-minute conversation about his '17 GT350 and then I remembered why I don't take it out too often.
