My preference would be to run a square tire setup if I could fit a good size tire, but not sure there is one that fits well. The 285 stones/295 yoko combo does make some sense. Yes, I bet mounting those fronts are a challenge, but I'm thinking a lot of the improvement in handling might be from the significantly lower ride height. That 285 front is about 1" shorter tire than stock, and the 295 rear is pretty close to 1" shorter too. Downside is lower top speed in gears if top of 2nd gear is a big deal, otherwise top of 2nd is decreased to about 63-64 mph? Probably good on smaller tight courses, no shift to 3rd anyway. I'm curious to see if there will still be good interest in the M2 as a B-Street contender next year. Not sure at the moment if I'll stay with the BS setup, or go camber plates and wider front wheels and just play for fun.
