an important goal for a race car is to set it up to "accept power". by that i
mean you want to be transmit as much of the engines power to the grounds as
possible. in such a powerful, light car, rear traction is essential- you
should be generate wheel spin at will, and the kumhos work splendidly when
cold. my car finished 1st in CSP last week on (corded) kumhos despite the
rain.
im no expert, but my guess would be that for autocross and kumhos and a
powerful car, wider IS better.
comments?
(hope to pick up the cobra saturday!)
