    To do it differently than the other guys, and maybe find something that works.
    The 225 is a lower tire? I know it has a shorter sidewall, but the 225/50/14 should be the same or close to a 205/55/14

    I'm running 205's all the way around on the new car. But I'm also running a spool and 15X6 wheels. The math says it's the faster way to go, but we'll see.

    Yep. If 13's were allowed on my ITA car, it certainly would've been something to look at. Lets you lower the car and maintain more suspension travel. Also gives additional gearing options since you can get 225/45 and 225/50 13's

    In a pinch yes, but I just have a spare box that is right for 'short' tracks, and an 'A' box that is right for long tracks. Then I don't have to double tire inventory.
