I've got an ITC Scirocco, haven't raced for a few years, and am trying to select a tire.

From what I gather, the Hoosier 225/45-13 is the "hot setup". But I'm bothered by the Hoosier specs recommending an 8"-9" wheel for this tire. The one time I've run a tire on a rim that far below specs the steering response was AWFUL. Admittedly that was on a bias Hoosier which is a very different tire, but it really made an impression!

I've run the 205/60-13 Hoosier, it was fast, felt great, but car sat high and gearing could be better.

Has anyone on the board driven the 225/45-13 Hoosier radial on 6" rims? Was the response/feel OK? Thanks!
