If you want to run less tire, then I would recommend running less power. That is all assuming you enjoy grip and not tire smoke.
For sure, if you're going over 200bhp youre going go need a wider tire. I dont know who the hell decided on such a narrow wheel, 7 frigen inches... Its like they want you to lose grip and drive like a “Yarbough like Jeremy Clarkson". One of the first things you do when you update to F/I is to get wider wheels.
