Default quick lame question

if i just run skinnies up front, can i expect a tenth or 2 tenths off my time? keep in mind as of now i run 275s up front on an 18x10 wheel that is heavy as crap.

No way! Skinnies will give you a little, but nothing near 1-2 tenth's. Maybe 1-2 hundredths.

That is an amazing gain, your old wheel/tire combo must have been very heavy.
