Upsizing from 255/30/19 to 265/30/19 noticeable power loss?
Recently changed my rear tires from Continental Extreme Contact DW 255/30/19 to a 265/30/19, and swear my car is now slightly less peppy. I mean come on its not a huge width increase.

Hmm, I don't think you should notice a power loss from going up in tire width.

I went from 255 to 295 and no loss, all in your head. Might be tire getting better traction and it feels slower because it is not spinning add much.
