I doubt I'll ever drive the 930 on the track again so I'd like to work on the low speed handling (sub 100 mph) and make her more fun to throw around.

I'm thinking of trying 235/45-17 and 275/40-17. Do y'all think it will make a noticeable difference considering I'd still be running 9&11.5" wheels? Anyone need some slightly used 255 and 315 tires if I do change?

Any other ideas for making a 930 handle more like a 911SC/Carrera? Currently it has 22/31 torsions, Bilstein sports, and adjustable sways.
11.5 is pretty wide for a 275
I built my rims to 10.5 to accommodate that size
