also, i had my car on shaved 245 fronts with half-shaved 335 rears, car was understeering quite badly no matter how i tried to play with sway bars. it did not have enough grip in front. 275/335 gives a totally different feel, i would never try 245 fronts again with 335 rears. 275s i run are NT01, 335 ar RA1 so sizing is right, ABS is not giving CELs. also what i like - NT01 is a bit softer than RA1 so you have very nice front grip and they sing more than RA1 tires at limit, sometimes it also helps.

not to rain on your parade but if it the same 'bulk' i think of - it was shaved to 2/32th, not 5/32th. but i may be referring to different seller. just double check for sure and ask for photos with tread measured.

Randy; "Peter, I am obsessed, have too much money and really like RA1's. I'm gonna buy ALLLLL of them! Can I send some tire to your warehouse?"
Oops.

You need to throw a couple boxes of brake pads and a set of rotors in the group.
Being from california that would be my picture of "the endless summer"
How cool. My wife is going to crap when she sees the tires show up.
Thanks again for sharing this deal. Cant wait to try them.
