The fact that the first statement in this thread was based on how a tire change made the best handling sub $40K car in the world look vs how it would effect it's handling is amazing in itself.

To say it again, the smaller tire was used to loosen up the back end and reduce understear. To each his own, but that was their intent. Each driver should use the set up that makes his or her car run best, or in the case of some in this group.....look best!
So how do matching 305/30/19s work on the Z/28?
