That's the tire I use. I love it! But I am thinking if I wanted a roll race tire, I might have looked at something big like a 325/50. If you can fit them that is.

Why is that? Also these are a dual purpose tire for me. I actually like the height. It should help me utilize my lower gears a little better.

But seriously, take as much rear camber out as possible with an alignment. I can see the negative camber even in that tiny pic!

Even if you can only get 1 deg out, it will help a lot with straight line traction. Of course, the toe will need adjusted as well, but a good alignment guy will know what to do.

Does anyone have any experience with these PRO tires? I have a little less than an inch clearance between the inner fender and tire. I'm pretty sure if they rubbed i would cut a tire as the contact would be confined to a single "sharp' spot on the fender that cannot be easily removed. Anyone seen these grow?
