I mean, yeah, they look BadA$$, but I do question the need, particularly as the all weather family transport we purchased it to be. Have a feeling it could perform just as well on a smaller footprint, with better wet road performance..
The 605 HP 911 turbo has narrower rear tires (305's, so not by much, but still). But that's lighter you say..
Porsche's Pepper Turbo S? Also smaller at 295 section width (and not staggered)...
Hell, a Lamborghini Huracan only runs 305 section width rear tires. You have to get into a Lamborghini Aventador S to see wider rear tires..
