Thanks for all the info guys,

$419 is out of my price range Brad, thanks though mate.

I think i'm going to go with the Kumho KU31 in 275/30R20 for $234 each from Unit :)

You have a PM champ.

Another tip dont just go out and buy a new tyre call around tyre joints first see if they have any seconds, i got the factory 20' potenza for a 100 bucks a tyre someone traded for 22's, i needed new rears so i got two spares now for the next time that comes around

Assuming by odd, you mean the same tyre on each side of the rear (not 2 different ones Lol) then there's no real issue with it. I generally change all four (or at least get the same brand) to keep it balanced, but I'll probably just change the rears next time (well the fronts will go the rear and I'll get new fronts -mine are all the same size) because the fronts are barely worn. And I probably won't get the kumhos again so they won't match.

odd tyres are a good way to wear out an LSD too.

My bro put odd sized tyres on the rear of his corolla wagon with a welded diff lol. CONSTANTLY wanting to turn and if u hold it straight, the tyres chirp when driving straight HAHA.
