I thought it's legal speeds adjustability was one of the huge selling points of the car? Adding more grip is just going to dial that out. On the track sure fine, on the road, not so much.

Best case senerio I kill the stockers in a summer cause I cant stop driving the car, then make the stock wheels my winter setup. I still have a set of decent Yokohama ice guards which should fit.

With this car I'm thinking 225 up front and 245/255 out back.

I plan to go with 235/40-17 Dunlop Star Specs all around. On stock or stock sized wheels if possible, although I realize 7" of wheel width is a little narrow for that size, I'll at least give it a try.

However a lot of people appear to see higher grip tires as something very important, so I'm suggesting that perhaps they shouldn't be focusing on tire size but rather tire compound. |
