1) You don't mention what sizes you currently use.. 205/255?
If so, I would try a 225/255 or 225/245 combo to help dial out understeer. Ihad 18"s on mine and ran a 225/275 combo. I think the 275s were too much. Either needed 245s on the front (which wouldn't fit) or 245s on the rear. Then again, I like a car that can be made to oversteer easily.
2) If you like wasting an hour or so changing tires at tn event (mmm lots of fun on hot afternoons ) you might get a small tire trailer. I have seen many over the years. They likely cost $500-800. Can tote 4 wheels and a small box (for tools, jack etc). Check out som autocross forums as they are, i think, more popular with that crowd than the track crowd. |
When you say the 245 up front wouldn't fit is this because of the wheel width being to narrow to accomodate? Or would it simply not fit in the wheel well without rubbing? I've been thinking of going 245's up front as I have 8.5" wide (17") front wheels.
