the 305 tire is only 3lbs heavier than the 275. so you only gain 6lbs total at the rear axle.

reallllllllllllllly small gain to make you not want more grip.

I can make a chipotle stop and take a mean dump to lose a few lbs to counter the tire weight

Ok, maybe it's not the extra weight that's the issue, but certainly there's increased drag with the wider tires.

All I know is the car feels slower to me. Not massively but, noticeably...at least to me. Maybe my perception has to do with the fact that the Hancook V12's I was running (at oem size) were so bald that the new, fatter tires & new tread make me think it's slower
