the best ride & performance should come from
9.00R16 (255/100R16) Michelins as they are
fairly light @ 39.9kg so does not take as much to get them rotating & to stop them
the 325s come in @ 55.5kg which is 140% increase in the unsprung mass + the additional mass of the wider wheels
in addition the mass is at a greater distance
od 325 = 984mm 255 = 936 mm
the 255s are available both new & retreaded
in Europe check H. Vrakking BV
last time I checked with them they also had
a few 11.00s
