Damn...nice shot!! Are those tires 225's? They look pretty wide. One more question: How fast were you going in that turn? Thanks.

Peace.

So does this mean you'll go even stiffer?

Why were you running the skinny tires for that event? Rain? Loose surface?

[cj]

Now that's a great shot!

what size rims again?

[steve k.]

the wheels are 15x10. I am not sure if i will go any stiffer any time soon. We don't have too many surfaces here that have this kind of grip. Last year i was lifting the side of the car a lot higher. About 45 degrees at one point, so i had to solve that problem by widening the track. Seem to work. El Toro has tons of grip, so only lifting the side a few inches i s a great improvement and i consider problem resolved.

Just curious, do you ever carry a G-meter in the car?

Any thoughts as to why they make the equivalent R6 so tall? 275/35/15 vs. 275/50/15. 2.5" difference in diameter is huge.

One has a side wall that is 35% the width of 275mm and the other has a side wall 50% of 275mm. Thus the difference in overall diameter.
