Any one have any knowledge or opinions on running 245/45-18's on all 4 corners?
I run 255s all around for autocross and its great. takes away a little of the understeer, and on the street to and from it doesn't activate the slip light. The only thing is it eliminates the downward rake of the car, so if you lowered it and ran the same size tires, the rear might look lower.

Zoasis,

You are suggesting 265/35-18 on all four corners... correct? Isn't that the set up Kevin Vanderbeek's running in SCCA SF Region Solo II?
