We preferred the 275/35 Hoosier, as (believe it or not) we liked the additional slip angle the higher sidewall provided.

I would love to see a 265-35-18 V710
For now the 245 seems to work just fine. Now where are those damn konis.

In the rear, well that’s another story. There is plenty of room for say 300s.

I put 285 Yokohama slicks on the stock wheels. Fit fine. Got 285 for the back and 245 for the front.

Thanks, I forgot to qualify my last comment.
When using the spec offset you need to stagger the tire size to insure clearance. If you change the offset you can in fact install 275 all around. :D

How to you like your slicks

I have Yokohama's sport tires on mine and they work great as both as street and racing tire compromise.
I am planning to get a set of Yokohama slicks for racing on dry days. So since you already have them how do your like their performance?
Mine work great, so I am assuming the slick's are only that much better in the handling dept.
