When I bought my '02 WS6 last month, the two front tires were replaced by the dealer, but the back tires were not. They are in okay shape, probably have a couple thousand left on them, but I want to start looking now. Since the two fronts were replaced with the original Eagle F1's, I want to buy the same for the back. I realize there are better options out there, but I'm doing this to save a little money.
The problem I'm running into is, I can't seem to find the same Eagle F1 GS tires to match the fronts. The tires I'm finding have a different tread pattern.
I have two questions with this... First, does anyone know where I can find the original tread pattern design for the Eagle F1 GS?
Second, I would like to go slightly wider on the back, but still maintain a solid contact patch on the road. I believe the census in past threads regarding this issue was 285's are the best size to upgrade width on the stock 17" WS.6 wheels. Will they balloon or stick out at all if I go ahead with this size in the rear?
Thanks in advance for all the help.
