before you say this is over kill for the car, for those of us who use this as a dual purpose car (auto-x/track + daily) it really isn't at all. Consider this, the Spec 86 series cars run a 255 race slick (closer to a265 really) and those cars have very basic mods and a basic tune NA and they still can use even more tire. We are running a street tire, i can still get the car to rotate quite easily even with this size.
I completely disagree

Who says a skinnier tire can't corner as quick, if not quicker, than a wider tire... All you really need is a good compound and a good driver. It's all about the lines, especially if we only have 200 to the crank. A 9.5 inch tire is overkill
