Any thoughts on bumping up to 255s for the new 2017s with the 4.3 rear ended gear?

I was on 255s on my '13

Ill be running 255 RE71R's this year on my '13. I would think they would be slightly better on the '17s with the 4.3.

While we're on the subject of 255/40/17 tires, I wanted to let you guys know that I have a set of RE-71s for sale in that size. I'll have an official for sale ad up soon, but for now, I can tell you that they were purchased in Sept 2016 and only have 12 AutoX runs across 3 events (3 heat-cycles). Tread depth is between 7/32" and 8/32", so if you're looking for new tires for the season, these will be in perfect condition for you.

I'm looking for $475 Shipped, so feel free to PM if you're interested and I can text pictures ahead of posting my ad.

Appreciate that! In fact, I just got these sold a few minutes ago!

I recently picked up my 245/40 RE71-Rs for ~$547. A local Firestone was running a legitimate "buy 3 get 1 free" deal without any hidden fees or anything. And now I've got 4 extra bedroom decorations until spring.

That's what my BRZ is at now (had the 450's on my FRS), similar neutral behavior. Come drive it this weekend, I need someone to scrub in the new tires!

I should have done this argh...just bought another set of 245's a few weeks back.

EDIT: I love Tirerack, swapped my 245's I bought in December for 255's today (245's were never used).

I hugely appreciate the offer, but I'm tied up with work every weekend until mid April :/
