If the wheel was 9.5, I would feel a lot better doing it since the tire wouldn't be pinched like the way they would on a 9". Other than that, it really is for safety and maybe road noise. I am not joking when I say this. It was easier for me to get my Prius sideways last year than the Z. With the new tires, the car drives more like a Miata than a Corvette. For those who owned a C6, you will know they tend to plow unless you force the issue with the gas pedal. THat's what the car felt like last year.

Not sure if they help, but I just took these pictures

for sale!!

the way my 265 wore and what they look like after about 9000 miles

what 265 looked like on the front
