Should make turn in feel better on the stock 9” wheel, as well.
Are the channels larger cause it's a "front tire" or are you comparing it to the PSS 265' tire?

I'm probably going 763M with 255/275 PS4S tires.

I’m comparing the 255 & 265 4S.

I’ve been running the 265 4S for the last 2yrs on the front OEM wheel, but looking forward to trying the 255, as it’s clearly meant to be more of a front tire than the 265.

I’m sticking with 285 in the rear, tho, so I can put all the power down around the corners.

What size rear tire do you run with with the 255 for rain? These are 19",right?

Yup, 19” on OEM wheels.

I run 285/35 in the rear for a little more dry grip bc I’m running a larger turbo and tune. 275 would be better for rain and a car with stock hp or a few mods.
