Like many, I used 595/600 on my KW V3s. However, running slightly oversized tyres - M3/4 spec 255/275 I am getting frustrated by rubbing the tyre liners on high speed dips which are frequently found on Australian back country roads where a concrete causeway is set into the road to allow water to drain across during heavy rain. I get absolutely no rubbing on the track under heavy braking or maximum G-cornering but the tyres will kiss the liners in the scenario above.

I think rather than mess with the aesthetics of the suspension and the otherwise excellent handling, I will go back to OEM 245/265s next tyre change. That will give 4mm additional clearance to the liner under maximum compression...which is probably all it needs to avoid zingers.
