Different size tires (front/back) vs. Same size all around

G35/car novice here...

I've had my 2003 coupe for about 10 months now and my stock tires are showing some serious wear. I am in the market for some new tires and have been reading up on some posts here. Just wanted to see what the pros/cons were with maintaining the standard different size tire set-up as opposed to having the same size all around to be able to rotate/prolong tire life. Is there a difference in performance? Would I be missing out on something if I purchased the same size all around? Or is it just an appearance thing?

Thanks

it doesnt matter what size your have but since our g's are rear wheel drive, you will have better traction with bigger tires in the rear. Good luck.
