Did you have to roll the fenders, or is the +63 with 255s OK?

We'll never see a well done comparison, too many changes are required to optimize the 235 front vs the 255.

Respectfully disagree. I think the GRM article has two applicable generalizations: (1) The fastest tires *may* not always be the "first choice" and (2) determining optimal tire type and size requires time, testing, and money

I agree you can't say a 245 is better for the S2000 because it worked on an MX-5, but that wasn't my point.
