thanks lots. so, my understanding is that a smaller overall wheel/tire diameter will increase torque but reduce top end. on the rear you went from an OEM 265/35 to 275/35 which in an increase in diameter (25.3 to 25.6 or +.3"). however you noticed an increase in acceleration so one can assume that the increase in diameter was more than offset by the reduction in rotational mass (lighter wheels and tires)?

odd on the hoosiers. must be cheater tires (if you have the right rim width) - do you think you were rolling onto your sidewall?
