Skywagon should put his 295's on the front axle

[quote]The superior straight-line performance of the RS3 corresponds with significantly improved cornering abilities. Turn-in is precise, and the electric power steering is nicely weighted. In its standard configuration, the car comes with 235/35-19 rubber front and rear. However, there’s the unusual option of 255/30-19 tires for the front only, which allow the RS3 to tackle corners with even greater eagerness. Thankfully, the aesthetics don’t suffer—only those who have been told that the front tires are wider will even be able to tell.

I had some similar thinking. I run a 5mm spacer on the front only to increase the track up there. I run that on 235/35-19 Pilot Sport Cup 2 all around.
