The bigger tire setup did the power-slide job alright, but the car felt bigger, heavier... It liked to push more during forward weight transfer in a corner, needed power to rotate. It just didn't handle as well. I'll give you that the entry speeds were marginally faster, but it just didn't feel as spritely. It felt like a Mustang. Stock suspension, btw.

Competitive STX autocross cars have no problem spinning the tires at launch or hanging the back end out on 17x9 245 sticky as fuck RE-71R's with just a header and tune. Hell I can do it on mine right now with a stock powertrain as I'm developing my setup and my car is just too loose.
Sticky 245's aren't a death sentence for fun. I totally understand not needing or wanting more tire though.
