I see no reason to put my car on 275s in a different class than a 1969 Camaro on 275s. And a 1985 Fox Body on 315s should be in a class with a 1967 Camaro on 315s.

Weight limits and full interior restrictions can also come into play, but most guys with muscle cars on 275s are going to be the same guys that won't cut their fenders for wider tires nor strip their interiors for weight savings.
You didn't mention anything about two-seaters being a different class. But I'll give you another example...

DSE's 5th gen Camaro against their own second gen Camaro. Both Camaros, put the same size tires on both (may already be the same, not sure) and the aero, track width, and center of gravity has the 5th gen quite a bit faster on the track. I don't remember the exact times, but DSE's 5th gen was a few seconds faster than their second gen on the road course. I believe they're similar power and both very capable drivers, but the advantages to the later model car are very apparent.
