Hope to have them on in time for the Refrigerator Bowl this month which should expose any fitment problems.

Very curious about the Falkens, but I think I'll be a poor position to judge them vs the RE71R as this car is new to me. Absolutely loved the RE71R for the last 4-5 years on my prior car. Too much different about the M2 to make an apples to apples comparison.
The 275/30-19 and 275/35-19 does double the front/rear diameter stagger (from 1.94% larger in the rear to 3.9%). Curious how that feels on course compared to running a 255/35-19 up front. I would assume the 275/30 (on same 9" wheel of course) would be sloppier in transients but hopefully a bit more lateral grip.

Any chance of having a 2nd set of front wheels with 255/35-19s to compare them with?
