Not that it would make a huge difference compared with the 275, but it will sure help a bit

That makes a big change in the driving characteristics. Takes away the near identical ration speed between the front and rear tires, less sidewall on the 265, which would ride rougher and possibly make the car feel not near as planted in the rear while cornering and hitting bumps. Just doesn't seem worth it to me to give up better handling for a little weight saving in the tire. Like I said before, plenty of ways to add power then to give up the better handling. These cars were not rocket ships in the first place. If you want that, do some mods!
