Bridgestone RE11: After 12K Miles, theUndisputed KING of street tires. Review inside

More gap/more tire in the rear should cause more understeer. How hard do you push your car? what is your suspension setup and what does your car do at the limit?

Im torn between 285 and 305 rear for a few reasons.

The only thing I want these tires to do, is make my car grip at zdayz on sport rays. That's all I care about. My car is N/A , but I don't think the extra weight will slow me down, as the roads around zdayz are relatively low speed and its all corner.

Logic says that more tire = more grip = faster corner speed right? My concern is a 10 inch rim with a 305 is beyond the "recommended" tire. At what point does the lack of sidewall start to effect the handling? That, in combination with a 40mm stagger worries me that the steering will feel vague (not good in the mountains) , or that the car will understeer quite a bit.



I DO want the car to understeer if I push it PAST the limit, hence why I'd not like to run a square setup for public roads. I don't have sway bars yet, but really hope to get some before zdayz as these swifts are way too soft for me. Most guys on here have a stiff front bar, and soft rear bar, which should also increase understeer. Would the 265/305 combo keep the balance relatively neutral, or be remedied by an uncommon sway setup? Or would the 265/285 with typical sway setup be faster?

Decisions decisions, any opinions would be appreciated.
