I autocross. People in my region have turned fast times with the setup. I knew it would be excessive, but I wanted to work my way down through the sizes so that I'd have experience with different size / width combinations. There's a saying to do your last experiment first, and 255 was the widest I'd ever try to cram on an 8", so I went for it. I'll go 245 next, and if I like the way it changes the car I'll keep going down in size until I start losing time. So I'm doing it for experience. I'm not going to be winning any events anyway, so nothing really lost.
