I have a few sets of wheels and wondered if theres any reason I would need two different tire sizes? I currently running 205/50/15, think I need 215/60s? Would this be beneficial at a larger track like Sebring?

Compound is more important than size. 60 series is going to effect handling. I'd change gearing or redline if that's the intent.

60 is way too tall.

Add in tire diameter Add in your optimal RPM where you make peak power You should be able to plot the tire diameter or gearing that will provide you with what you need. |
