PSS going back on until I buy wheels.

Was a bit worried about 285 on front. 275 is the limit. I don't mind a little more bulge on rear, but Front I can feel it in turns if not close to spec. You keeping rears on?

Yeah, but on my F80. Granted it had 550 wheel so it's relatively fair comparison minus weight differences.

For my rears I normally use R888, two sets so far. R888R caught my eye but not sure if they will hook as well as the R888s. Also since I can't swaptires on rims to wear inside/outside the same it deters me a bit. R888s suck below 60 degrees though. Was hoping the new ones had better range in tempatures for performance.
