+1 but I kept the stock front size 265, I think.

Last week I switched from the Pirelli's to Michelin PSS on the front (265/35/20) and Pilot Sport Cup 2's in rear (305/30/20). much better grip... I'm sure I'll suffer quicker wear in the rear than the PSS's but I'm loving the better grip in the rear (the Pirelli's were like driving on ice all the time).

I see you live in Tampa, your temps there must be around 20-22c at the moment are they.What sort of temp is the rears on your idrive giving you, am thinking I might go for the MPSC2 myself for summer and same tyre size although may opt for the 275/35 up front.Any tramlining with it

I just got my comp m6 two days ago. It has the 265/35 ZR 20 99Y (F); 295/30 ZR 20 101Y (R)

Are you recommending I go 305/30/20 in the rear?

I highly recommend 305/30/20 on rear for your next round of tires.
305/30/20 does not last as much as 295/30/20 and you feel a little understeer, beside less agility on corners but better traction. I had 305/30/20 MPSS about 6 months compare to 9 months 295/30/20...
