For instance, Mike Maier (5 time scca national autox champion) run a 265 on his 66 Mustang Coupe and thats on a 9.5 inch rim.

That's a good point. If I drop to. 255 then it opens up some other tire options as well. I think the Dunlop star specs may be in my future. What I have read they are a little better for autox than the NT05's.
