Rear is even worse, the new tire 26mm (1") bigger than the old tire, a 245/30 would have kept the same overall diameter.

Wonder why they went with that setup?
The stock tires on the 2ers always seemed too small to me.. this actually fills up nice. With the speedo typically reading 10% higher than the real speed, it will properly reduce that to 0%.

Now.. if you asked me.. they should have gone with a square setup. Anything with less than 300HP does not need a stagger. Having rotatable tires/wheels is a bliss.
