Wheel size for racing?
edspurrier - 28/10/09 at 12:15 PM

thoughts please for the Avon and racing next year.

Currently have 6x14" wheels with 185-60-14 R888 tyres. We need a second set of wheels for spares and winter/wet tyres.

I've been offered a second set of 14" wheels; the other option is to get 15" wheels and slightly lower profile tyres. Will there be much differnece in handling?

thanks all
Ed

Get 13s: cheaper tyres, far more choice and better handling.

Id go with the 13's look at the Caterhams on the track not much to touch them and they run on 13's as a rule
