Did you try simple tire?
Tires look good!!
Fair enough I’m good with 275s
We should probably decide by Friday, lots of good points made, does anyone else have thoughts here? IMO the 245 is the perfect combo of OD size vs value vs load rating, 17x9.5 won't be an issue, if...
In miataland 225's on 15x9 is very common and works quite well, the wider wheel helps the tire work better. I wouldn't worry about that, the donuts on the other hand are an interesting point indeed!
I think the 245 is the better option and I think it will actually handle the heat better by the load ratings(10%+ higher on the 245).
Should we do a poll? The 255 may run out of gear w/o a RR OD...
The 255’s are a smaller OD and will affect gearing for folks. The load rating is also noticeably higher on the 245’s
No one has purchased yet, correct? We should totally do 255s, I’m pumped for 2 sets for the price of 1 and last 2-3 times longer.
Great point on sizing! A 245 is 150 per tire, same od and will fit 17x9.5 without issue, perfect tire!
I didn’t even consider the lower wear and tear with a 200tw tire, longer hub and brake life, #winning!
For sure, I’m willing to bet 2 sets of 615’s will last a season, $1650 vs $3400 for RR’s and more competitive every race weekend. No need for rains just keep your second set of 615’s for rain
Also, you can probably off load sticker RR's to AI for more than you would pay for a set of the 615's
Can everyone please post up and confirm when you’ve placed your order for the new tires, I probably will not be ordering until later in the month because we need to get the car on the Dyno first and...
Boom! $814 shipped from tire rack vs $1100+ for RR's, love it!
Ironic, RR's are backordered from Tirerack....
How does the RC1 handle heat cycles? Maybe it's an option?
$1300 for stickers for Cresson hurts right now, Hoping we can get 5 to agree on an alternative. Then of course, what about the summer...
It would be great to stay Toyo and maybe work some kind of contingency, I hear the R1R falls off pretty quick after a few laps though. I wonder what the best 200TW tire is for our application.
If we can get 5 on board I'll CMC race you in Cresson on Azenis
2 down 3 to go...
Actually, you may want to reach out to some of the 200TW tire manu's to see if they will sponsor our class...
