the main reason I got 265 was the 255 stock size was on national backorder back then for the pilot super sports, so I went ahead and just went +10mm width all. Im sure my speedo is off slighly but probably a few %. PSS are pretty chunky for its size. Some other tire brands are smaller, probably Continental DW.
