I know that 265/30-19 is the preferred, but will a 265/35-19 not work?

Technical wizards will chime in here but I think that would upset general settings and balance of the car. Might even result in some rubbing with coilover setups.

I think a friend has tried them on his M3 GTS, but he now swears by the Yokohama Advan Neova:

Has anyone tried them?

Cheers,

Are Michelin claiming an improvement over the current cups?

The 35 profile don't look perfect although I found out a few years ago that size perfectly corrects the standard speedo reading (they're usually 5% out)

Do they supply 275 section in 30 profile? If so, wouldn't those work?

I've been told by GT3 drivers that the Cup 2 is an improvement but I wonder if they mean over the Cup+, which is crap.

I will stay with Cups. Well enough proven, the only tyre for the CSL.
