mods were first with the OEM size tires.

havent really modded anything since my intakes/tune.

i did add my straight pipe set-up with the wider tires and no performance distance on the tire side of things.

the weight isnt really a issue. the 275 RE-11s are 29lbs per rear and the 305s are 32 a rear. the fronts are both 29lbs 245/265. so all i added were 6lbs total in the rear tires.

no where near enough to make a difference in my opinion. at least none that i can tell.
