This forum is funny......someone always questions your answer (even if its a real answer). I went with the 295/30 ON THE REAR for the width and yes, I needed more grip. The fact that its a 30 doesnt affect grip in a negative way and ALL the tires and car handle great. I am not tracking the car and only care about 1/4 mile and stoplight to stoplight. That being said, I live on a mountain with many curvy roads and the tires seem very good.

These AD08s are as close as you can get to an R rated tire without it being R rated. Jordo, you cant use the tire calculator for everything. If you check the width on these AD08 295/30/19 tires ON TIRE RACKS spec page, you will see they are actualy wider than some 305 tires.
