Yes better traction, but also more rotational mass eating up power. And of course the added rotational mass of the wider/heavier fronts can only hinder straight-line acceleration. On paper the 1LE spec has to be slower in the 1/4 unless better traction can mitigate the higher MOI of all four wheels. At SS power levels, I don't see how a 1LE spec could win in a roll race as well.


Don't get me wrong, I'm putting 315's on the back of my car, I don't care if it costs me a bit of acceleration or not, they look awesome ! lol.
That is beyond my experience level, but before when I used to spin, I now hook, so to me, that makes it much faster... I have 305/30s out back, when it is time to replace, I'm going 275/35 (front) & 315/30 (back)... Love the wide look!
