Default Thoughts on low profile tires?

Hey everyone,

I have a set of rims coming... they're stock 16" sizes for my 951. I'd like to know all of your opinions on going with lower profile tires. I'm not a fan of the balloon look - I'm used to running 40 profiles on my M3.... I wonder if anyone here has run maybe a 215/45R16 up front, 245/45-16 rear
has anyone run a 35 profile tire?
I'd like to hear what everyone has to say. Thanks!

To my knowledge the only tires currently available in 245/45/16 are R compounds, and you will not find 16" tires with less than a 45 profile.
