By the same token I will ask - is a 295 going to provide appreciable performance improvement? Will a 275 "destroy" the car's traction? I believe the sole motivation for going to a 295 in this instance is the improve straight line traction.

I don't want to argue anymore. I stated my opinion. I'll stop now.
If I've come across as argumentative I apologize. This is just a conversation. I don't have 'the answer' and I am enjoying the discussion.

Personally I like maxing the wheel width for a given tire width. I switched my 10" square setups for a couple 10.5" ones without changing tire width, as more wheel provides more grip when used with the same tire.

The thing is he has a limitation which is the ZCP wheel. Other than widening the wheel through the link I sent which seems kind of ghetto, he is limited to a 10" wheel.

I think the 295 will bulge a little with that wheel and would be bad if it were on the steering end of the car, but it's not. So will a 285 have more grip than a 295 mounted on the same wheel? I still don't think so.

That said, the ps4s have tons of grip and maybe he would be happy with the 285.

Cheers man
