None of these discussions are of any value without Suberman/Ubersuber/Gforce involved anyway.

Useless comparison with so many differences between both cars.

I've also recorded faster laps (slightly) using stock wheels and 215 rs-3 tires with and without suspension mods. It's hard to say which is actually 'faster' but I do like the way the car behaves and the feedback I get on sticky 215 and 225 tires. But who knows? Maybe I'll like a 235 on a 8.5" or 225 tire on a 7.5" wide wheel even better? I've never tried. For now I swap between 235 (both 40 and 45 series) on 9" RPF1 or stock and 215 tires. I traded the 17x8 et45 RPF1 for my current 17x9et35's. I kinda regret going wider, but it definitely looks beefier with the 9" wheels. In terms of weight.. stock wheels and 215 are likely the heaviest.

Has nothing to do with who is smart. It has to do with having a conversation and exchanging ideas. It seems most people that track twins have decided 245 or 255 17's are the way to go. While the larger auto community is all trying to cram at least 18's on everything, including lightweight cars like the miata and the twins. It is worth having a discussion about even smaller wheels and tires. When the miata came out, and even through the nb, many miata owners would run 13's on their vehicles for autocross and track. In the rest of the world the twins come with 16's, and lots of rally subarus run 15's. It is always beneficial to bring up different ideas and whether or not they are still valid for the application of the vehicles people are using. Quote:

You shouldn't act as if you're better than him when you feel the need to also insult him. I get that it was targeted at you, but it's really not the correct approach based on that paragraph of being an "intelligent adult".

A lot of those miata's used the smallest diameter wheels they could fit on their brakes for weight savings, but they were incredibly wide (8-10"). On this point I may be wrong, but it's possible that casting technology didn't make relatively light, cheap wheels too common at the time? I find there are a lot more options for lightweight non forged wheels at a reasonable price now than 10 years ago. |

I cant believe this thread is still going and people are still spewing non sense. Let me try to add some more fuel, maybe we can get some more entertainment out of it.
Contact patch area doesnt change regardless of tire and wheel size, only pressure on the tire and the weight of the vehicule matters. Contact patch shape changes becoming larger (wider across the car) with a wider tire. Wheel size (within reason) affects sidewall deflection, not contact patch. Nobody has mentioned heat. How do you expect to put heat into a 255 tire on a stock power, stock aero twin running tracks with straights that are miles long? (Fuji style of tracks). Many people dont realise that a tire that is under or over heated will not perform at its highest, yet nobody seem to care? You choose your tire width for the track, level of aero and level of power the car you are running have, to be able to keep the tire in its optimal temperature range when pushing constantly. Alright im done, flame away you haters. (im not naming anyone and certainly not addressing everyone, dont want to make this a personal matter). |
