Re: 275/40r17 or 315/35r17 which is better for overall performance on rear?

I think tire selection is more important than tire size.

I ran 315/35 Mickey Thompson Street Comps on my '01 and they would spin like crazy unless it was a 90 degree day outside. Hated those tires.

Now I'm running 315/35 Nitto Motivo on the Mach and they hook up regardless of temperature. They just grab the road and go. The width seems to help grab the pavement. On the 245/45 tires it would spin and squeal a lot. Now it squats and takes off.
