I just bought a second set of track wheels from a forum member today. These are RPF1's in 17x8. I plan to run a 225 tire on these wheels and compare back to back against the 17x9 Titans which will be reshod with a slightly used set of 245 A7's I have in the garage. Many have suggested that less section width and less sticky compound may actually be faster on horsepower biased tracks like Sebring, RA and VIR where I plan to run in the coming months.

I would like to hear suggestions for a tire to represent the skinny on lighter wheels side of the equation. Very interested in these, total weight would be 34 pounds.
