I run square 255 now and will probably try 245 square, but wanted a little more thought on the subject. Bias re: brakes makes sense, though I admit I'm curious how a bit more rear bias would work. I'm also curious if the reported improvement in responsiveness from the 245 is just from the front, or both - I suspect both but in unequal measure. I don't know if launches gain anything to speak of from a wider tire. I still hear conventional wisdom mostly. In this discussion I don't care about cost and rotation benefits, just specifics on how and what changes with handling.
