I'm currently running 245/40/20 on 20x8.5 front and 295/35/20 on 20x10. It's an auto with stock 3.15 gears

It's getting close for a new set of tires and I can't decide on 255/35/20 and 285/35/20 Pilot Super Sports or my current sizes in Nitto Invos.

So I will be trading extra height, sidewall protection, more rear traction and possibly comfort for lesser weight, probably better MPG, more front traction, probably better balance but less protection and comfort.

An X factor is that I love the way 295s look on a lowered car but the only 295 that will fit on my offset is a Nitto Invo since they are .2 inches narrower than others.

None of this would be a problem if I had 9 inch wide front rims SMH.
