We investigate the line between tight and overtwisted for surgeries on fibered transverse knots in contact 3-manifolds. When the contact structure [Formula: see text] is supported by the fibered knot [Formula: see text], we obtain a characterization of when negative surgeries result in a contact structure with nonvanishing Heegaard Floer contact class. To do this, we leverage information about the contact structure [Formula: see text] supported by the mirror knot [Formula: see text]. We derive several corollaries about the existence of tight contact structures, L-space knots outside [Formula: see text], nonplanar contact structures, and nonplanar Legendrian knots.

For n = 1, 2 and 3, we construct a pair of transverse knots T1 and [Formula: see text], in the standard contact 3-sphere, satisfying the following properties: (1) the topological knot type of T1 is the same as that of [Formula: see text], (2) the self-linking number of T1 is equal to that of [Formula: see text], (3) [Formula: see text] is obtained from a transverse knot T2 by n stabilizations, and (4) T1 is not transversely isotopic to [Formula: see text].
