Sorry I don't have any plots handy but didn't have that big of a drop. With the 7 psi actuator and turbosmart MBC we hit around 16 psi dropping to 14.5.

235/265 or 245/265 would be my tip. 225/245 is getting kind of aggressive and you will run a lot of risk of rim damage if you daily it. Just my 2c.
