Wheels and Tires for AutoX

cruzthepug · 04-22-2014, 06:22 AM

Ended up getting a deal on a set of 18" 370 base wheels. They are coming with tires, not race tires, but some all season performance tires. I'm planning on just using these tires for the races I do this season and if things work out, get a set of race tires for next year.

Wheels should arrive today and I'm planning to Plastidip them flat black. I hope to have everything ready for the next event this coming Sunday.

The base wheels I bought came with 225 front and 245 rear tires and after doing 2 events I decided I needed something a bit wider. Not wanting to spend a bunch of money I hit all the used tire places in town and ended up buying a pair of Michelin Pilot Sport, 255's, for the front and a pair of 265 Conti's pro contact for the rear. I've got my 3rd event tomorrow, so we'll see how the wider tires do.
