Looks like it may be stormy in Savannah on Sunday. What size rain tires are you guys running? I have 225/45 Hoosiers on one set of rims and 215/(forget the aspect, may be 60) Toyos on another set. The Toyos may work as intermediates, but they look a little worn. They definitely won't work as full rains. So if I need to get some rains at the track what size is best? Is it better to go a little narrower (like the 215s) to keep from hydroplaning? Or stay at 225 and let the tread depth take care of hydroplaning? I was probably going to see if I could get a set of the Hoosier full wets or full tread Toyos.
Do you need to heat cycle rain tires? I don't think I'll be able to run them and then let them sit overnight. Best I'll be able to do is probably use them in practice and qualifying in the morning before the race.
What setup changes should I make? Bob kept the car pretty stiff so I would probably need to soften it up some. I've got a strut and sway bar up front and a sway bar in back. I believe I can switch settings on the shocks as well, but haven't messed with them yet. The springs are pretty stiff so I don't know if changing the shock settings would do a whole lot. I was probably looking at just loosening up the sway bars. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
