Street Tires
Is there any advantage going with a 275 over a 255 for every day
street use. I will be buying a set of Pilot SS.

Going from a 265/305 staggered MPSS setup to 255/275 Cooper RS3s, I say save your money and go with the Coopers. I'm that impressed with these cheap tires!

False. I broke the MPSS 305s loose like no other. My Cooper RS3s actually seem to hook a little better, all other things equal, even though they're 275s.

EDIT: oops, now I see that you went with the 255 PSS tires . . . those are supposed to be awesome tires, interested to hear how they work out for you.

So Far the Pilot SS is a major improvement over the GY Supercar tires. When it rains on Sunday I'll see how good they are in a hydroplaning environment.
