Damn Shimmy! And I thought I was bad with two new sets and one part worn.

Yes, you have issues.

Hi,

Wider tyres do not give more grip
for the reasons you think.

Hi,

The point I was alluding to was that say
a 275 gives slightly more grip than say
255 by margin of 3% but increases drag
by 5% then the net gain would very
little other than a larger hole in your
wallet.

Looking at Shimmy's Tyre wall makes
you think !!!

Be interesting to see some data on the
same car running say 255 and then
275 , and then running a 24mm
O/A increase in track width, say with 12mm
spacers each side with the 255's ?

Regards,

The Gorilla.
