    For a given size Hoosiers seem to be wider than everything else. This works for a lot of people but I had a rub against the stock fuel filler neck. None of the other tire's I've run do this, so I'm...

    I had a similar situation, high temps inside so I added a little camber (removed negative camber if you will). Next time out my tires wore excessively on the outside! It's a fine line, as I have...

    Ooh that's good news. I had Hoosier R5s and they were sticky, but their super sized tires rub on my fuel filler. Seems to me the Hankooks wear better too. I have C51 Hankooks coming.

    Jake, you have the nicest avatar.

    I appreciate having defrost and heat in my race car. Not often, but it's great when you need it. There's no way I'm going to notice 3 lbs of weight in my car. ...

    That's ironic, more tire selections but you can't find wheels. I'll take a serious look at 15s, the sidewall on my 205/55-14s looks ridiculously tall and I can't see where that extra sidewall helps....

    15" wheels in ITB

    Has anyone gone to 15" wheels on an ITB car and noticed an advantage over 14", on a car where 14" is the stock size? A search really didn't come up with anything, and I am in need of new wheels.

    Vaughan, I may have to rig up a different exhaust system and try that. I've heard it's a really tight, narrow course, but I should try it before going by someone else's opinion. There used to be 5...

    I'll second that, Phil has been very helpful to me. Give him a call.
