Im currently running the 205s and 225s Hankook Z214 AX tires. Even in the middle of the Texas summers they never overheated if I kept the pressures under 24 psi hot. Im wondering if running 225/45/15 front and 275/35/15 rear Hoosier A6s would be more of a detriment because the car is so light or should I just stick with the current size. I do have room for them under the fenders. The car is still an angry 2056 but will hopefully get a bump to 2270 or 2316 this winter. Thoughts?

Very nice and you will enjoy the extra tire. Car looks good. After you do tire temps, don't be surprised if you get very little heat in the fronts. IMHO, and that the the Avon engineers, you might need to run a narrower tire in the front. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
