    I was at a car show today and saw an Orange Challenger. Not sure if it was 2008, 2009 or 2010. Anyway, I went to check it out and was surprised to see it had 255s in front and 245s in back. I mentioned it to a Corvette owner and neither one of us had any clue as to why that would be. Anyone know?

    My 2010 SRT had 255-45-ZR20's REAR & 245-45ZR20's on front
    and noted that way on the Door Post.

    I suppose they rotated them. That's the only explanation I can think of.

    if you have different sizes from front to rear, you don't rotate unless you swap sides instead of front too rear.

    Only if they knew the sizes were different! Not everybody has a fully charged battery, if you know what I mean.

    Yup, that's probably what happened. Saw one like that here a few years ago and asked the guy about it and he had no idea that his car came with 2 different sizes. 08 to 10 SRT's were that way from factory

    And they probably weren't around when we did F60's on the front and L60's on the back. :)

    Well I can say that I am loving my 275/40/20s on the front and 315/35/20s on the back. :)
