hahah yeah i dont know why you would have bigger tires on the back , wider tires normally means better grip , you want better grip on the wheels that drive your car , the wheels that drive your cobalt are the front ones

Front.... The Pontiac Grand Prix GXP comes standard with wider on the front...
The balt is a traction nightmare to begin with.. wider tires on the front sure woulnd hurt..

IMHO it's gonna look kinda wierd with wider ones in the front... wider out back looks cool... but does nothing for us what-so-ever.
