If you all are saying keep square for looks/maintenance(rotating) I understand.

If you all believe it would handle better than a staggered setup I'd really like to understand why

I know I don't want a car with understeer either

But I'm just an ex karter... it's great having a car with a wheel on each corner

All comments appreciated Thanks
Why square?

Because unless you are pushing out a lot more power than stock, 235 all-around is great for track use.

I can get the car sideways easily without even trying. I can keep it sideways if I want to clutch kick the car to hell & back.

Wider front (235) is not harder turn-in, not with street tires.

I have 245/255 for street use, and it works great too... but I don't push the car hard enough on the streets to know what works or not.

Your setup will yield more understeer. So you know what you don't want... put two and two together.

QED.
