Each class is different...ALMS covers a wide range of classes.

Sorry, sorry -
Lets be more specific LMP1..... the best data I have been able to aquire is 25.5 DIA front and 28.5 DIA rear on a 18x14.5 inch rim. As you know Fran I plan to use these tires for the track and want to confirm DIA before .... well you know.

Intersport debuted Kumho’s new LMP1 tire after running the company’s P2 tire in the Creation’s first ALMS race at Sebring, and the new tire has made a big difference in the car’s performance. The new tires are size 330/680R18 on the front and 370/710R18 on the rear. How big is that? Consider that the new P1 front tire is nearly an inch wider than the P2 rear tire.

Front 13.5 W x 26.5 H
Rear 14.5 W x 28.0 H

I have been noticing these cars run alot of front tire width! (relative)
