I enjoy the current stagger and grip levels as far as it is considered 'twitchy' or 'nervous'. My goals will be to keep the bias of grip levels, but just more of it with maybe adding a hint of understeer as I may tune to stage 1.

I am having a hard time deciding between:
1. 255/275
2. 255/285
3. 265/285
4. 265/295

I've also experienced tramlining in my E46 M3 from going to wider tires and really want to avoid this in the 1M (not sure if that is possible?).
I'm of the, "keep the tread width delta (f/r) as minimal as possible) for a FR vehicle and provided it were my vehicle I'd be more inclined for the 265/285, if not 265/275 options.

Once I get a bit more energy I'll be test fitting one of the 19x10 359M wheels on the front of my E82 to check fit, which might enable an awesome 275/30 on all four corners
Hmmm...not sure on the 265/275 matchup. I fear this would have too much oversteer for the short wheelbase of the 1M. It seems to already have enough snap oversteer in my opinion with 245/265.

I think I've read of people going with 255 or 265 up front matched with really wide rears. 305 or 315 even? mattm ?


Maybe leaning towards 255/285 at the moment (this was also the choice for the 1M Safety Car setup).
