Ill try to get a shot in the next few days.....espescially of the side wall so you guys can judg if these are too pinched for your tast.
I come from the world of autocross where we are always trying to squeeze too much tire on too little rim

. 265 on 8s is less than Ideal but Id wager it still offers more grip than 225s on 8s. This probably comes at the expence of some road feel I think.
