Dedicated AutoX/Track Spring Rates

Dwnshift · 02-03-2013, 01:50 PM

It's per the rules.
After the dyno pulls in Daytona Grand Am has asked us to list some items that could benefit us...more weight out of the car etc.
One of the things we talked about was that we are the only car with the most weight on the 245 tire.
The Porsche is the same 245/275 but they carry their weight on the rear.
Everything else in the series is 275 F/R
That being said...the car is very well balanced and it's not like we are wearing out the front tires..but it would help under braking.
I'd rather they give us a weight break.
Tires are tires...the only 4 things that touch the road so they are a pretty big deal...
For tracking...get what you can afford...because you will use them.
