I know going slightly larger in back does not. The front tires you mention all have a shorter sidewall and might roughen the ride vs the stock size.
Thank you for catching my mistake. I thought stock was 40 series, not the 50 that it is...

Since I already have the 255 40s in the rear, I'll match with the 205 50 17 front. The Indy 500's don't come in 55 series for 17s
These won't have quite the same grip as the Pilot 4s, but I'm not competing with this car, and it is not an S, just the 201 HP base model
