Message	I don't know how the theory works, but I just put 275/35s on the back of my car. With the stock 245/45s, they spun easily in first, and again in second. With the 275s, it gets only a little squirly in first, and doesn't spin in second at all. The car is _much_ quicker in the first two gears! Of course, the difference could also be explained by tire age and wear, but the wider tires do help with traction. TomB.. '90TT Stg IV+
