Wtf, you're crazy! I have 255's on my 10'' wide rears and that's about as much stretch as i'd like. Had 235 before and the car used to break traction at any and every opportunity.

Expensive doesn't always = stiff!

On that particular trackday I'd softened up my front end quite a bit to try and improve turn-in which worked to a certain extent, but I've got a lot of adjustability and a lot of scope for improvement which I plan on tackling this year.
