Yeah, matter of national security, haha, just kidding. 😀😀😁😁😃😃☺☺

Really, any Lexus dealer should be able to do it under factory warranty.

I concede. After extensive road testing I am now in agreement with you. My tires grip decent on great roads with minimal tread wear (i.e. new tires). But on less than great roads, or roads that are dusty the traction in 1st gear is horrible if trying to launch like a 1/4 mile race. I am capable of launching without breaking loose, but it's not at a rate that I am happy with. I feel like I'm gimping the launch...

I will probably jump up to 295s on my next tire change.

2nd gear WOT I have no complaints though.

I will also be interested in getting a transmission tune when one is available. But that's a whole different can of worms.

I know it's probably already been mentioned on here somewhere, but what is the widest size tire you can put on the oem wheels (rear).

305 will fit on the rim. But I don't know if it will rub or not. I haven't actually read anything from a RC F owner running 305s on the stock rims.

I'm pretty sure 295 will fit without issue. Edit: 295/30/19
