I plan on buying tires weds...

So I plan on buying tires wednesday and I think I'll go 275s all the way around...or I could go something like 255 front and 275/285 in the back? Just looking for suggestions or recommendations...I've got a couple in mind but just want some extra opinions since tires are $$$$$

I take it your talking about 17 inch rims? 16 inch don't come in 275/285 sizes. Since your talking about how much they cost you should stay with the same size all around for you can rotate tires. This will let you get the most out of them. With odd size tires, the problem you'll have is once you start wearing the back tires (which they do go first) You can't switch them around. Then you have to invest on another set for the rears. Then vise verse for the front's.
