All,
I am in a position that I am going to order my wheels in the next 2 weeks. Sadly due to exchange costs and having a small child, I will have to with knock-ons later and just go with Image bolt-ons for the time being. Ah well, upgrading later and tinkering is all part of the fun!
The most important thing is for me to actually get the car on the road!
So here's the question. What tire sizes would peo;le recommend for a GTD? I have a coupld of oprtions open for the rear, but it will depend on whether I go for a pure road tyre, or a track tyre that you can use on the road. BTW I have to run 17" due to the brakes I have on the front.
So if I go road, I have the option (with the tyres I am looking at) of either a 275/40 or a 285/40; meaning I would look for either a 225/50 or a 235/50 on the front. This would be running Kumho's KU31
On the track based tyre I have the option on the rear of 274/40, 315/35 or a 335/35; this means I would also have a further option of a 245/45 on the front. This would be running Kumho's V70a compound in Hard
My car will be mainly road but will go on a few track days.
Thanks for the thoughts and advice upfront!
