I want to be able to retain full lock up front so IMO the 9 - 255 setup will give me that ability.
Not really looking to get the absolute maximum - just a good workable setup that seems to yield good results.
My auto-x setup is 245/275 17s but I'm not a huge fan of how tall the 275/40s are.
Given that the car is barely making 200whp (if that) taller gearing isn't what I'm really after but that's what I've got for the moment.

Yeah as mentioned before, its too bad we cant get a 275/ 30 or 35 series on a 17". If you go for that Roots you've mentioned, that will twist them 275/40's real nice. They max out at about 330whp only, but they start making boost almost at idle, from 1200 rpm and make max boost as low as 2500rpm which is just what you want for twisting a tire like that on a small course, talk about a fat power curve, practically flipping a stock N/A curve upside down lol And no turbo lag!
