And it is not as simple to provide bigger tires. The tS car has already 17x7.5 wheels and Michelin PSS tires with stock power. With the current axle track, they could take an approval up to a 18x8 wheel. A half inch difference and similar rubber, cannot balance a 50-100hp increase.

The tS actually runs on 18x7.5. I wish it was on 8 or wider
