Well IMO for the stock 343 M5 the factory setup (265/295) is the best setup; however 305 on rear gives you better traction but as you said modifies the handling characters especially on cornering. I'm happy with 305 but M6 is lighter than M5 and has lower center of gravity so the handling is not changed significantly but traction is improved a lot even now that there is less than 25% tread left...

Haha, your case is slightly different with launches and all I'm nicely DDing the car. Thanks for the feedback, going to do 265/305 p-zeros next.

Btw I've wanted to ask you - do you miss the rear seats or still happy with the M6? E'time I see an M6, I wonder why I didn't get one. For me, the grass seems greener on the other side. I would've loved to have the cf roof. And e'time I look at the read legroom in the M5, I feel it's really just a glorified 2 seater just my opinion.

I rarely have passenger on back seats so basically I don't need sedan and that's the only reason I picked M6 over M5... and yes I'm still happy with M6 even after several super car (including McLaren and Lambo) test drives ... M6 is more practical for me
Even KING didn't satisfy me

Anyone running 265f/305r setup notice any throttle response issues? When I ran a 305/30R20 DR and stock 265f the car would very noticeably hesitate during part throttle acceleration.
