Message	I need new tires for the Z. I'm torn between two great tires, only available in two different size sets. 245/275 or 255/285. Fronts are 8.5" wide, rears are 10" I want crisp handling and a good ride. Price is close enough between the two of them to not matter. Thoughts welcome. I've got Pilot Sports on my BMW F31 M-sport, and they're good I suppose (body roll is too great to actually test them) and I've still got Conti Extreme contact DW on the Z. The Contis haven't let me down, especially in the rain, but I wonder if I'm sacrificing some crispness for grip with the 255 on the 8.5" wheel.
