My guess, you will not even notice until at the limit where the the balance should move towards over steer. That being said, there is so much under steer designed into street cars that you should still have under steer at the limit. The only other test you would want to do is an emergency maneuver whereby you yank the wheel from side to side and try to induce momentum or pendulum affect over steer. It is unlikely that you have done this with your current car (if you have - ) so it is unlikely you will have anything to compare it to should you do it with the new tires.
The other thing you will loose is "the look".
Personally, I hope you do this as it is exactly what I plan on doing when my time comes. I'm currently at just over 10K with 5/32" even across the back so I have a ways to go.
If you do this, please share.
Lastly, I remember looking not too long ago and 265 was available but just in a slightly different side wall height. I also seem to remember that the difference in rolling diameter made this side wall difference negligible.
Ah, I just looked it back up. The newer tire compound/construction is available in 265/30ZR21 which is actually the way I was looking to go.
