And every single time the 30mm wider squared performed the best, 10mm wider 2nd best, staggered 3rd, and stock 4th. Same results every time.

Possibly the tracks used for testing where all more advantageous to wider wheels,
Possibly the professional driver can bring out the true limits of each size tire and a casual can’t or at least needs more time with each size or whatever size he has most seat time with is fastest for him.
Possibly this car is vastly different than the other cars tested.
Possibly the other cars stock tire was way undersized to begin with and our 86 is perfect size from factory or closer to perfect size with stock setup.
But it was repeated so many times on so many cars with 100% identical results across the board.
Confirmed. I suck.
