RSV 1000 0 Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 A lot of talk seems to happen around tyres, I am running a pinto SEI wide with 15" 195/50's and seem not to have the right blend of handling and grip ie too much grip and not enough feel. Any ideas ? Cars such as the Elise have diff size front and rear, width wise. Has anyone else tried this ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ian crocker 0 Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 All other things being equal (which they rarely are) the tyre sizes should be in rough proportion to the weight distribution. That is why mid/rear engined cars always have bigger back tyres. I suspect a Pinto Westfield is only slightly tail heavy with the driver. Regards, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blatman 632 Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 What make/model of tyre? I have tried all sorts of tyres over the years, but never seem to be have been in the happy position of having too much grip........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RSV 1000 0 Posted January 16, 2002 Author Share Posted January 16, 2002 As I don't use my Westfield on a track, prefer to play at lower speeds rather than have outright grip. Thanks for the advice, think will just keep the same. Had it like this for 5 years now, just fancied a change. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
