RFT Replacement Question

Doctor///M · 02-25-2012, 05:02 PM

Decided to go with the Conti DW as my replacement for the stock RFTs which are now doing 23k miles.

For those with the experience, will going with a wider setup - 235 (Front), 265 (Rear) to maintain the handling characteristics that the RFTs are known for? Or should I keep the stock 225/255 width combo?

If wider is better, will the setup affect fuel consumption much?
