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?
