How much tire is too much tire?

For road racing, autocrossing, or just taking that curve in style. Oh yea, and stopping!

I'm actually going with 26mm bars in my other Super. I'm going higher spring rate, smaller sways(19mm stock front with urethane bushings, 15mm 944 rear bar). 150# springs onthe front.

well, I guess last question. I plan on replacing the bushings in the rear this weekend. Should I just throw the 23.5s right in there, or try stock first?

Don't bother with stock if you're planning to autocross

No plans for autocross, but I do drive kind of hard from time to time

If you have access to 23.5s I suggest using them. I don't find the suspension overly stiff at all. Firmer, certainly, but not punishing.
