I would say that if a little better milage, and the possibility to break them loose is what you want more so than what you get now or even stickier with going larger. Then the clear choice is to go smaller. I don't think I would personally go anything larger than the 275 for all of those reasons. I wouldn't ever drive hard enough, often enough to really get the best use out of the larger tire.

Just got back to work and MANNNNN was it hard coming back! Janik is working on the car and MAN its lookin' seXy!!!!! AHHHHHHH, its so freakin' nice out, I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE ASAP!!!!!!!!
For my 20's, I run 245/35's and 275/30's. Its the closest to stock heights, gives plenty of protection(no stretching), and juuust enough roundness w/ toyos to tuck without rubbing.

Lance, how wide are those rims? i think the stock sports are 8.5"/9". I really wanna go with that size combo (Mike suggested that too) but i'm only scared that with my rims' width the side walls will be too bubbly!

Fellow, my buddy John thats coming with me tomorrow just sent me this email. I love it. I told him that i'd LOVE to see a pic of my car like he described lol
"On another note, I got Kuba’s Ultra Wide Angle lens. I’m bringing that with my camera, and I’m bringing my tripod to hopefully get some bomb a$$ HDR pics too. I think we should get our cars together for a few shots too. They contrast in almost every way, black vs white, evil vs good, gas guzzler vs diesel sipper, 2 door vs 4 door, etc. I envision my car in a sunny field with rolling fields of grass and little bunnies and white puffy clouds in the blue sky. And then on the other half of the picture is your car sitting on a live lava flow, with an active volcano in the background and huge plumes of dark clouds hovering in the deep red sky. You might need new tires after the shoot…"
