what you using the car for? is it mainly a street car, or is it a drag car or a road racer . auto crosser ? depending on tire size for the street to spirited driving a 3.9 to 4.10 would be good. if goin auto cross or road racing try 4.3 to a 5.13 depending on the length and course lay outs. drag,,,,,,,,, 4.88 and up i would think but then again i no longer play in a straight line.





i know on the gt3 / EP first gens we run a small tire with anywhere from a 4.3 to a 5.13 on big and small tracks.
