I was told before to have low profiles in the back and high profiles in the front.

in the rear its good to have say like a 215/40 on say a 9'' wide wheel. that streches the tire makes the sidewalls super hard. in turn the rear tire is more crisp, controlable easier to break loose but you'll still have good grip. i used to run 195/70 in front, i didnt like it, too sloppy
