I honestly didn't like the music, but it was something, I kinda just picked a track.

I would go for a Duc but its not worth the extra for the little that I drive now I owned my Ducati for about a year, honestly I would just buy another R1 now, the Japanese bikes do everything better they just don't have the Italian name.

^^^ In Quebec, I don't think he has to worry about the salt - aren't they still using dirt?
More like stones out of a farmers field. We also are not allowed to run all season tires here, so I would need a set of snow tires for it. I really shouldn't take the car on the roads until mid April when they have been swept, but I can't help it and my front bumper has paid the price, it is full of stone chips, it looks awful.

I've always only used a 215 tire on the street, never really found the need to add unsprung weight. All my best 1/4 mile track times on street rims/tires were done on a 215/45/17 tire too, it has the best characteristics IMO I would go 225 but it would have to be a very lightweight tire, maybe Kumho MX's next time. Also since Kevin K is running an HTA86 and 10:1 compression now, I got to do these little things to try my best to keep ahead of him on the streets Adding more tire will only slow the car down up top Actually fitment is good with the +35 offset. I could run a 245 tire with no rubbing issues at all, which some guys are already doing with the same rims on 1g AWD's.

Interesting info, do you not have traction issues in lower gears at your power level? What would a 235 tire add in weight vs a 215, maybe 1lb per corner? I would have though the advantage in traction would outweight the minimal additional weight, that is, if your having traction issues with the 215's.

Yes I can break them loose in 2nd, but the car still moves though. Its fun going sideways with the power I make. I never launch the car on the street anyways, its always 2nd onwards. The difference b/w a 215 and 225 is usually 1 to 4 lbs depending on brand of tire, sometimes even similar. No way I'm running a 235 or 245 tire especially with a 40 series sidewall. Reminds me of a conversation I was having Shandon on the ecmlink forums yesterday. I believe he's on this board too, drives a low 11 sec 1g. He mentioned to me how its been nothing but a boat load of broken parts and axles every since he switched to a 235 or 245 (can't remember) tire from a smaller profile, and has not even had a personal best on them either. Having a tire that gives out matters too. We have AWD, even with a 215 tire you have more traction than most RWD car on the street with wide tires. You have to remember I have MT slicks mounted on 15" rotas for the track. Getting the biggest tire on the street was not at the top of my list, which might be for others. Weight was my # 1 concern. I also have something now that 99.9% of DSMers don't use, which is a cusco 4 spider LSD center differential Big tires aren't everything, I've been that route before and prefer a 215/45 or max 225/45 tire.

Ya, I remember you still have the seperate set of "real" tires for the track Up to 4 lbs heavier from just going from a 215 to a 235 wide? Are we talking comparison between same brand/model or between different brands/models? I can see one tire manufacturers 235 being 4 lbs heavier then anther brands 215 but if its the same brand & model I can't see them actually weighing that much more, for just abit more width. What are the tires made from, lead Besides, I thought you were making enought power that rotational weight no longer matters Why the extra breakage with the wider tire (were still talking equal overall tire height between the two)? Just the fact of having the extra grip?
