not familiar with dunlop sizes but i would recommend 235 on a 9" and a 255 (or 265 if they don't have that size) on a 10.5"...

also depends on your offsets too...if you're running really low, you may need to stretch more tire than you want but the sizes i gave you are pretty conservative...

falken fk452's are also great tires...from my experience, wayyyy better than dunlops...

someone with experience with dunlops? uhh...i do have experience with dunlops...hence "from my experience"...i've owned 2 sets of Sp9000, a set of sportmax and direzza's...

can't complain with free tires...dunlops are good tires, don't get me wrong...but yeah, somewhere along those sizes will be fine...

definitely 35 series...sometimes 255's and 265's are off sizes so you may even be forced to go with a 275/30 which isn't bad but try to stick with 35 series tires...

if you're gonna put a 255 on a 10.5", then i would consider putting a 225 on a 9"...it'll match better...and since you don't want rubberbands, definitely go with 35 series...235 is a narrow tire, don't get the 235/30...

shit man, i don't know what to tell you...whatever you do, i would definitely run 35 series all around...at the very least, in the front...i can see running a 235/35 and 265/30 but not the other way around...not familiar with dunlop sizes anymore...post some up and maybe i can suggest something...

I would go 235/35 and 265/30... 265/35 is a big ass tire. If you run 35 all around the diameter of your rear tire will be larger than your front and im pretty sure its going to throw your speed reading off
