  • @thelowcartheory
    @thelowcartheory 4 года назад +20

    This is an interesting debate, especially considering chassis limitations. I personally think that 17 is the ideal size for cost and performance for basically all cars, although on the bigger and higher power cars, 18s are certainly the way to go. I am very happy that the Kenda KR20 has become the standard competition tire for events like Super D and Final Bout, because it keeps things fair and consistent, and they are a great value tire. If there was a 15in KR20 that was priced in accordance to the rest of the range, that would be perfect because then basically every car can standardize. It sucks that it is hard to find 225 or wider 15s, and I am personally running into that on my track Miata.
    Also, I appreciate how you talked about choosing a car taking consumables into account. I personally love Miatas and Civics as grip cars because the consumables(tires and brakes primarily) are cheap and plentiful. I picked a miata as my primary track car for college because of it. However, as soon as you really push those chassis and require more grip, you are going to be hard pressed to find a setup that is affordable and still functions/looks good. Then you are talking about stepping up in chassis to a car that can run 17s, and all of the consumables increase in price. It is one of the many automotive slippery slopes.
    Overall a very well done/thought out video. Thanks for posting!

  • @ryandee8543
    @ryandee8543 4 года назад

    Us dirt track racers use grooving and siphing to either help build heat, or eliminate heat; and tire chunking/blistering. You can also add forward bite or side bite, or both simultaneously depending on how you groove. Idk if it would be worth your time to incorporate these techniques into your program or not. If you find cheap tires that work good but they blister, groove directly through the blistering area around the circumference of the tire.

  • @rsmithdrift
    @rsmithdrift 4 года назад

    Oh, and also, more sidewall = more forward bite because it increases the contact patch length, known as pneumatic trail. Other things that increase pneumatic trail are softer sidewall, narrower width (at the cost of cornering grip) bigger diameter (as you pointed out) and lower air pressure (again at the cost of cornering grip).

    If you can bring yourself to run a 235 then 235/40/17 are super common and will give you the clearance needed. They’re a popular size for people who run 17s as steerers when they need more clearance up front
    You can even get Nankang AR1’s in that size 😉
