As I already posted, I was using this as a segway into why they are better for street applications as well
Why wide tires are going to suck is that once you dial in your 2.5-3* of camber for that lateral grip
I am not slamming the car, nor am I running excessive amounts of negative camber, which is why I asked about fender flares in the other thread.
Aquaplanning is going to happen, and rain driving is unavoidable in FL.
34% more width is not going to turn the car into an instant death trap.
So yeah, wider tires are better for lateral grip (*** excluding a few times). Now all you need to is live at one end of Carillon and work at the other. I just hope that you're looking A-048's or better.... since we're looking for maximum grip and all.
Or we can go with the challenge-based response.... Take an Ariel Atom with 205/225 Advan's.
The Ariel Atom weighs 1,100lbs, that is 1.34 pounds for each mm of tire width, that is the equivalent of 525's on a s14. Thank you for proving my point for me epstein
