Tire size for style 230s

Just wanted too know what the correct tire size for style 230s are
Also what sizes are the best to.get a comfortable ride, bought
Used set of 230s last year and they came with tires which
Were something like 265 in the back and 255 in the front
The ride is absolutely horrid, car pulls to the right I feel every
Bump on the road, was just wondering if this is normal
Have my 17 winters on smooth as silk when I drive.

thanks in advance

Ps. Car came stock from.the factory with 230s but
Selling dealer seemed to have "misplaced" them or something-.-

Wow! 255 for front is definetly too much for 230's.
Style 230 is 8x19 front and 9x19 rear,so the OEM recommendation for it is 225/35 on front and 255/30 on the rear.
I was running 235/35 and 265/30 on my 230's with no problems at all.

Check out the balance of wheels and camber/caster also.
