Who is actually running 10" Wheels?

I think its plenty of tire. The 315 is not worth the extra weight and monster truck ride height just to be able to put down more power. Honestly at 250hp I dont have enough power to break the tires free with a fresh set in 2nd most cases. Now if you took the rear wing off I'd be telling you about all the crazy drifitng. Or if you put 3 year old R6s with no grooves left on the back I'll also tell you about have touchy they throttle is. Now I also don't think you really need more than 250hp to get it done, my car took 2nd in pax a few weekends ago with a top level driver behind the wheel, only the original alien, Daddio out paxed him. And the consensus was that he'd be shaving a second off the run if the car had power steering, or at least a faster ratio rack. And the that day were we hitting the 8500 rpm rev limiter (5 spd, 4:10), which is a higher top speed than the Panda was reporting on the same course. Also had the fastest raw time of a non-formula car by 1.2 seconds. The car is stupid fast, I suck at driving.

In Jim Gary's B-mod, which has top paxed in the region with Will driving so its not like its not normally pax competitive. But whats bigger than that is putting 1.2 seconds RAW on PJ in the Panda on like a 60ish second course. But with my hack *** driving I was still 2.5 seconds off PJ and Dave. I just need to do more
to catch them, lol.

I'm saying my car can, with an alien/near alien. And I still dont think an inch more on the tire width isnt worth making the car 2 inches wider and 200 pounds heavier. I think even in a tire height that works for us it wont make the car faster, it might even make it slower. Our advantage over the RX7 is a few inches in width and length and a few hundred pounds.

275/35/15 A6 for autocross. however after running 245/40/15 Hoosiers to fit in NASA TT2 Time trials within the tire-weight/hp rules and feeling how good that was in setting down several lap records on several different tracks I feel the 275 tires really would work better on an 11” wheel. The 245’s fit much better on the 10” wheels than do 275’s.
