squared up all 275s of these could be a pretty damn sticky track setup

If the tires are as sticky as they say they are than that extra width and weight of a wider tire may not be necessary.

I just run stock sizes as I'm NA and no where near reaching the performance grip limits of the tires on corners. I have spun out on a corner a few times in the past but I don't do that anymore.

but stickier and wider = lol

i'm NA as well and there was a noticeable difference in the grip when going slightly wider with my tire selection.
