Changing wheels size : from 17 to 13 : which tyres

[combatsapph]

I've gone from 17" to 15" (not 13 like you) and I have yet to drive it on the 15's - only fitted them yesterday.

Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's - 15" and lightweight with Toyo Proxes T1-S tyres.  Old wheels and tyres weigh 20kg - new wheels weigh 14 kg :-)  That's 24kg for the whole car but they say weight saved on the wheels is like x4 saved anywhere else - so I've shaved the equivalent of nearly 100kg from a car that only wieghed 605kg in the first place!

Old wheels:-

New wheels (sorry about the fuzziness and the mud - when for a bit of a "rally" drive down the lanes last night):-

I'd actually wound the spring platforms up before fitting the 15's so it can actually come down a bit now there on.

Wow Combatsapph, these are nice wheels and I see that I am not the only one to have had once 17 inches wheels ;-)

Your feedback on the new behaviour  will be quite interesting. Thank you for sharing !
