I'm not sure complicated is the right word but I don't know why legal tyres are being excluded. I say go for it on the big tyres, work with what you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Donating Members 23,708 Member For: 16y 5m 25d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 07/10/12 10:46 PM Share Posted 07/10/12 10:46 PM I dunno I think theres alot of merrit for someone running dunfops/mythos/invo/pirelli vs t05/mt/888's etc regardless of width I say regardless due to simple terms that a soft ( once hot very sticky ) tyre even in a less width will out perform a hard wide tyre The question is how wide before it out performs sticky ? Id say 245 m/t will keep out performing against a 275 sportmaxx in fact id guarantee it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vevapower Waiting for the 1st N/A 12! Donating Members 2,533 Member For: 16y 9m 14d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 07/10/12 10:54 PM Share Posted 07/10/12 10:54 PM (edited) I agree snot. The whole point of the thread imo was to highlight peoples efforts on factory spec rubber. But like anything these days people want to find ways to grey it up and promote their performances non factory spec rubber! I mean in drag racing they have the 10.5 class now to have a controlled tyred width. But hey if it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy to post your 11.3 on 275 R888's in a " post your STREET tyred 1/4 string" than so be it.I can't believe how people simply don't get the point of this string I truly don't. Sure its just not you and I snot!Hence why I said before let's just change the name of the string to " post your non slick/radial 1/4 time" as that seems more appropriate now.Yeah still does my head in!
