245 Enough Tire For 332HP? Discuss new tires.

Its not that people do not appreciate it, its just that the car already comes with a very nice package. the sport rims are light enough, wide enough for the 332hp the car has. Honestly you could probably hit the 1 lat.g point easier by just playing with your suspension setup and sway bars than by replacing the tires and wheels.

it really all depends on what you want. You want to track the car and go over 1.0 lat, ok. reduce weight play with suspension and you can get there. 0.03 is not that much to overcome. Now with your 245 in the back it might be a different story, but i still say its possible.

hell one of our race cars was pulling 1.32 lat g, we changed the tires and wheels, got 3 piece wheels, hoosier slicks and only increased to 1.34 lat g. Tweaked the suspension and where now at 1.48 lat g. a much bigger increase just by geometry.
