What we've found in our testing is that additional mechanical grip generally is wasted, when you're already WOT (which is a LOT with this car).
For an extreme example, would you rather have 225 or 285 tires on a Miata? For a more realistic one, 225 vs 255? 195 vs 225? Of course it all depends on the situation...
