any negatives about the wider tires?

thanks.
You cannot upsize the rear with the 18" wheels because you are already at the limit in width with the 255. Only the guys with the 19" wheels which are 9" wide can go 275. We can upsize the front tires up to 235 but it would make the front tires larger than the rear in height which would not be especially good. I would have loved to be able to put 275 myself but couldn't so I strongly recommended Marcw to do it.
