I was trying to keep the initial entry cost down and run on the 17" for the first season (fire suits, transponders, fire suppression; all adds up quickly) but am finding tire sizing limited. I may put the 17's on my street car and move the 18s onto the race car.

regardless, good to know that a 235 works on the 7" front - balance is good with a 235/255 combo?
also, I've read good things about the bf Goodrich r1-s compared to the hoosier r7 - any experience with these?

thanks.
235/255- Yes, a slight sway adjustment may be warranted to fine-tune car balance

R1- Good grip, last longer, not quite as fast as prime HC R7s. (1 sec/lap??)
