The diameter of the 245 front is 26.8". The 295 is 27". The 285 is 26.8" and the 305 is 27.2", about 1.5% more than the front.

I checked with my shop and the 305 will fit and that's probably a better choice. Interestingly, both the 285 and the 305 have 7/32" tread depth while the 295 has 8/32". No idea why that is. However, I just need to get thru the season when the fronts will be gone so it shouldn't matter one way or the other.
