tc1stgen Killeen Texas, US Scion Guru	The stock size is 225/45/17? There is a disadvantage to having wider tires on the rear on a FWD. It will reduce your handling. If you need tires I personally would just go new. And FYI it is best to have the same tire on each side. So if your replacing the ones in the back you should get the same brand, size, etc. But if this is the case and you need to replace the ones in the rear, you should actually rotate the tires you have in the front to the rear, and put the new ones in the front. Hope that helps! Ask me about Innovative Car Works!
