Makes sense; lower profile will be less able to absorb road vibration, so more squirleey in a straight line. I'm not using to having straight line traction issues -- haven't driven a high torque RWD car in ages -- so I'm more used to focusing on cornering 
Driving plans: 99% spirited DD driving, with an occcasional autox in the mix.
So, that said, given the choice between OEM spec tires in AD08 or the alternative I was considering of 245/35 F and 295/30 R, which do you recommend?
I wish advan had 285/35's like the RE-11's...

Do you recommend a square set-up, or try to maintain approximately the same ratio as OEM for rear to front, with the rears being wider, natch.
