+/- less impact on speedo readout
- not as meaty as it can be 
- less total grip
2. 245/40 + 275/35:
+ slightly more comfortable
+ slightly better protection for the rims
+ better steering feel
+ more front grip
+ beautiful meety rear fitment
+/- true-to-life speedo readout
+/- slightly more lifted car (due to bigger overall diameter)
- depends on tires, slight rubbing may occur in front (you won't notice)
- I suspect that depends on tires, slight rubbing may occur with high load also in rear (you can possibly confirm it with somebody running such setup)
- slightly less turn-in sharpness
All things considered, unless you want the meatiest setup, I would consider the first option as the best compromise. Have no experience with the Firestone tires, thus cannot comment the fitment. |
Thank you for this one, this is the dilemma I am in, it's very hard finding someone with this setup that can comment on this probably bc they are not on the forums to be able to answer lol. In your opinion would the first option affect acceleration at all or would it be so small that it wouldn't be noticeable.
