Race cars don't add unnecessary weight, especially when you can't add enough tire to use it. A 285 and 9.5" is race car. 10.5" is Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement. You're getting nothing out of it and hurting performance. The opposite of race car.

You're also being a douche. I was joking man, chill. Nothing was picked for cosmetic enhancement and the two pounds per side I would have lost with the 9.5 vs the 10.5 will not make any significant difference in performance especially since I am not racing professionally.

Just my 2 cents. Now Discuss... Maybe a flywheel effect?

That doesn't make sense. Hence why we have drive train loss close to 18%. The more you add the more you lose. Track times I can see it for loss of inertia or something though.

The explanation probably lies somewhere in the endless number of variables introduced in real world testing. But don’t think about it too long or your head will start to hurt (and eventually explode).

What were the tires though? Same size, height, weight, company? Wheels same size, offset etc?
