So you don't feel any sidewall roll going that wide? I worry because they say the s04 already has a softer sidewall than the pss so I don't want some lazy response car I'm just worry about actual tread footprint since I hear some comment the s04 is narrow for its width so don't want to have turn exit traction issues.

I also worry about going too tall in the front because when I got the car it had tires that were too tall (I forget actual size) and its effects on the caster on turn in was very noticeable and felt like crap.

Also to add the 285 is a sl sidewall while the 245 and 275 are xl. How much stiffer is Bridgestone xl vs sl? Will they be a poor match.

I do a lot of spirited driving & did a track day on 265/306 S04's...didn't notice any sidewall roll. 1st track day and finished w/ the 2nd fastest time @ Streets of Willow (1:36.5)
