tire question - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Now my FRS is fairly stock, all i have is the TRD exhaust, 17x9 rpf1 and swift springs. I plan to autox and track the car but im worried that 245 tires would be too much tire for the car since the car is fairly underpowered. My question is, would 235's or even 225's be better or should i just go 245?

Many people run 245s and that would be fine. I believe a 245 would be quicker in autoX while many people have found a 225 is faster on track. I think track layout and type of racing matters. I'm personally going to run 245s.

yea fuck it ima just go 245's. I can't justify 225 on a 9inch wheel so 245's it is.
