Re: oversizing tires on turbo
Good man, Phil. I guess this post just couldn't arouse too much excitement; but until I find out otherwise, I guess there are some 315's comin' for my rear. The 235's ought to be of some improvement as I am able to easily spin-up the stockers coming out of a second-gear canyon turn.

From what I recall the Turbo needs its fenders rolled in the rear, when the car is lowered and using 315s. Besides that, there are NO Problems with this tyre combination. A guy called Chad from the Bay Area is running 275s and 335s on his Turbo, with heat-gun-treated wheel wells and some radiator reshuffling (really a minor job).
You should visit 6speedonline.com. They are more into modifying their cars with wings, etc., but will have some good advice for you.

What was it like with 235's Phil?
While on stock PO Asimetrico's in 225 the car feels rather "oversteering", these Corsa's in 235 give a very solid feeling to the front wheel (better grip + more committed steering) and much reduced oversteering tendency, even with cold Corsa's. Although I have no pretention to put in question PAG engineering wisdom subjectively I would be tempted to say it's maybe a better combo for the 996 TT

I'm not sure if I know what you mean, do you mean...by comparison with the OEM 225's the 235's feel much better and promote a lot more eversteering? I sure hope so, since I ordered a set of 235's/295's Michelin PS2's...

Re: oversizing tires on turbo
Kiko,
Sorry for delay in answering, yes I meant that compared to the 225's 235's seem to generate less oversteer. Of course I do not have hard data (it's nonsense to compare a Corsa to an Asimetrico), but definitely the front wheeltrain feels much more "planted" on the road.
