Those sizes are way off. You recommend a narrower tire with a smaller sidewall for the front and a wide rear tire with a big sidewall in the rear. Thankfully nothing like that was available so he saved himself some headaches and DSC going crazy.

Tire sizes work like this:
235 would be the tread width
40 would be a percentage of the tread width that makes up the sidewall height
18 is the rim size.


What you want is a 235/40/18 front and a 265/35/18 rear
