Just thinking out loud hear and I have seen a few options but how do people run there drag tyres to rim width? Like say I ran a 255x60x15 radial on a 8.5 rim and found it to be varied on track conditions and burnout. I run some ET Street treaded slicks 26x10.5x15 (rag tyre LT version) with tubes on a 15x10 rim and handled no different but the launch was consistent and burnout size did nothing to launch.This tyre on this rim gave me a ricer style look that alot of US 10.5 cars run with a narrower tyre to rim.
So this week I'll be switching my treaded 10.5 slicks to my 8.5 wide Welds to give me what should be perfect sidewall to rim more or less but I'll prob have to run more air as I'll have a sidewall with less pull on it so it may walk or move around a tad more ? So back to basics do others have more luck with a over size tyre or over size rim? How doe's the car handle in either fashion ? Cheers Rob. |
