Rim/Tyre/overall wheel size
Was cleaning my new(-ish) F-Type S Coupe last night and whilst doing the wheels noted the tyre sizes. I have the 20" Tornado rims and see that the fronts are shod 35/255 and the rears 30/295. The fact that the rears are massively wider than the fronts doesn't require reading of the numbers on the sidewalls or explanation, of course but why do the fronts have taller tyres? Doesn't this make the front wheels larger (in a diametric sense) than the fronts? Why is this desirable?

It is about the only thing in the world that is represented by three completely different units of measure: mm, percent, inches
