On paper you are correct. This is the exact reason I went w/ the Invos in the 255/45 and 275/40 after viewing the Goodyear size chart and the Nitto Invo chart. The Invos on the car inflated to 32psi measure 1" taller in the front and 1.25" taller in the rear. Stock tires were 245/45 RSAs.

I am mainly concerned with the feel of these tires and the fact that the taller sidewall feels like it is a truck tire when you go into a corner and I can not get it to take a decent set in a hard corner and this is compared to the stock RSAs that everybody says are crap (and I generally agree with)

I have had many performance cars but I am new to the heavy performance sedan world and could use a little help.
