So I have a very spirited street/strip drag car.
I run 235/60-15 M&H cheaters at the track.
I currently have 17 evo wheels with potenzas for street use, and it's miserable when I want to put the pedal down.
I'll break all 4 loose, and then get blocked out of my next shift, and I'm sure my synchros are taking a beating because of it.
I'm thinking about getting a second set of 15 or 16s but am at a loss of which tire to run. Will the jump down from 17s to 15 or 16s be enough with just about any summer tire? Or should I look for a specific compound?
I'm not extremely concerned about rollover, but also would like to take a corner from time to time without worrying too much.
Let me know your thoughts.
