Installed the Metzeler 260 today and for those of you interested, the exact width of the 260 on the stock rim is 246mm measured with a caliper. I have not taken this tire to gain width but it is a bit more
convex on the stock 8" rim, which improves handling in the corners. Had done this before on my Breakout and that was also a day and night difference.

It really improves handling in the corners, had this experience on my Breakout to so it was a no brainier for me.
