i have kumho v700 265/335 right now on same rims and I like it pretty well so far. it is first time i see somebody confirming using same sizes, i was told by some people car does not like really anything bigger than 255/315 combo on 9/12 rims.
do you drive 265/355 all the time? what camber you have and how do you find car turning in compared to 255/315 if you used that too?

It use to mean cheaper price in tires but not so much anymore. It is really about the size selection right now and with 18's you can get a wider tires for the 997 series that come stock with 19's.

Sorry reviving an old thread here. After running all those tires you mentioned which would buy again all day long?
