Found a place that will widen cookie cutters somewhat reasonably. Either on the inside of the wheel or the outside. I know where I want it widened, but my question is what does the extra inch do? Does it make the cantilevered slick stay flatter or ? Do you want the wider wheel in the front (?) or just the back? JP.... time for you to jump in here! |

Seems like a lot of money, and risk to do something the tire people say isn't required. I would be concerned about them popping off the bead too.
I've run hoosier and goodyear cantis on 7" wheels and can say from experience that the hoosiers are more forgiving, but take a nano-second longer to take a set in medium & fast corners. The goodyears feel much more positive on turn in and don't fade as fast as the hoosiers. This is based on my road race experience only, no AX. I think if I were AXing I might be inclined to run Hoosiers. |
