sorry but I don't agree...stock 225s can pull up to 1.2-1.3G and 275 only up it to 1.3-1.4 ... I've done it 100s of times myself... and if way more than that margin of safety isn't there aready (of course it is) RX-8 wheels would be flyin off all over... think of how many autox corners taken and spinouts done, how many track day miles completed since 2003.... with narry a wheel coming off. Anything CAN happen, but not because of 275 tires...
