Re: Rt
Moving to a smaller front tire will help with reaction time (less roll out) but how much depends on how hard the car leaves.
Every car reacts differently. Hope that helps. Rick |

Re: Rt
Keep in mind 1 inch on the sidewall is not always 1 inch rollout.
Check your tire pressure often. I personally don't think you will get more than a hundreth. Chip Last edited by THE LEGEND; 04-13-2010 at 03:28 PM. Reason: add on |

Re: Rt
Went from a 17" to a 19" and did not see anything in r/t or et. It has to be there but could not show it.
