DR's sidewall??
DR's sidewall?? Ok I'm needing to just go on and buy some DR's just a quick question.
Should I find a 15" wheel of just use my 17" Wheels?
Should I use a smaller wheel diameter so I will have a larger sidewall?
If I went with a 15 it would be a 15X11 insted of my 17X 9.5 to that would be better just because I would have more surface area..
I read the sticky and got this but I don't think it really helps me...
Question: What is the advantage to running a stiff sidewall tire? If there is no stiff sidewall slick in my size what can I do to stiffen the sidewall of my slick?
Answer: The advantage of a stiff sidewall is less tire wrap or sidewall distortion, thus reacting better at launch. Note: This is good for heavy cars, or cars with a suspension, that can absorb the initial launch. If you are running a fixed suspension car like a dragster or an altered, you would need the tire to absorb the launch, thus a softer sidewall. There are two ways to stiffen the sidewall. 1. Run tubes to help support the sidewall. 2. Matching the tread width with the wheel width, or going 1 wider on the wheel width, will stiffen the sidewall
