If your competition is not blowing you away out of the corners I would not bother then. Like I said the main benefit is gearing your engine to stay at peak HP range. The competition I run with the majority true their tires. You can also provide better "overdrive/underdrive" action by truing the front tires a little different diameters.
I second that. 58-60mm is about the zone!! But if you are fast at full size go for it.
