So what's up with the SS Corvette running 315x35x17s
(Kumhos?) on 9.5" rims (min. rec. rim is 10")? The car seems
to work pretty well (fastest Vette at the Harrisburg Pro?) and
everyone who's driven that car says it works with the big
rubber. I watched the car and it LOOKED like it worked :-)
Somebody stop me before I try 315x35s on the front of my
car......
