I have a question please bear with me if the answer is obvious. On an ap2 with stock wheels, if you increase the tire size to 225/255 shouldn't the oversteer/understeer relationship remain the same as stock because the ratio of front contact patch size to rear is unchanged, they are just both increased equally.

Jim@tirerack

You are correct. There are certain tires though that will work better with 215/45R17 and 255/40R17. One I know of is the RE-01R.
If I can help let me know.

I was looking at the tire rack site and i realized that the treadwidth does not necessarily increase directly in proportion to the tire size and kinda answered my own question. But I am seriously considering the re-01r for my next tire in 225/255 why is 215/255 better in you opinion. I am also considering the advan neova have you driven both, can you compare them.
