If you care about going fast, go with the 285 all around. If you are just learning, go with the 265/285 to be more conservative. I am actually getting better wear out of the 285 in the front because my car isn't plowing as hard. I made the mistake of stagger because there weren't many people that can give good references when I first started with the car and I was trying to be too conservative, the novelty wore off after about a month of driving.

I have nothing against the AD08, I just don't like the size they offer. I like the 285/35 for the taller sidewall and a little wider footprint. Regardless, all these freaking tires are expensive and you can't go wrong either way. I think this is my last set. I have a trailer hitch now, I am going back to R comps next year. F these $340 tires.

You can check some of my track videos from this year vs. last, you will see the difference in steering input by just changing the tire size.
