do 315s really slow you down???? last night in a bs session with some people they said that my car would go faster with a smaller tire is this true??? how much faster???
does it really make that much of a difference???

Re: do 315s really slow you down???? A wider tire has more drag, this cuases the car to not go down the track as fast as it would on a thinner tire given the car can hook as well on that thinner tire. If you can hook perfectly on a 8inch tire I would do that.
