Bit larger section width vs. 235/265 (track), and while the lower profile sidewall on the 235/265 gives a bit more effective torque at the wheels, I wanted to see if the more stock sidewall height would be better aligned with the stock dampers and springs. (It seems too; similar to the stock size Sumitomos Krissi ran last winter.)

I thought the turn-in and response might suffer compared to the 265/235 Star Specs, but the PSS are such good tires that it doesn't matter--turn in is awesome! Maybe 235/265 PSS would have even better turn in, but since the response is good, and ride is great, I don't care.

Lastly, Krissi really wanted a set of the PSS in max width, and I might just port these to her car and slap a set of NT05s or Star Specs back on my car (her tires are pretty well shot as well).
