Re: What size wheels are best?

[mark krawczuk]

with a lower profile tyre there is  i`m pretty sure more road noise, and , i know this sounds stupid, but you will have to actually steer the car, in stead of just  leaving ya hand on the wqheel, i think they call it tracking?     mark k ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Alford To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 11:17 AM Subject: Re: What size wheels are best? That's right. I think the 195/60/14 will actually have a slightly (emphasise slightly) smaller side wall. But what about things like rolling diameter, effects on braking and tyre temps etc.   Anyone got some thoughts?   Mark. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 3:53 AM Subject: Re: What size wheels are best? the shorter the sidewall, the less flex, which generaly means better cornering. but both those tyres would have about the same sidewall size, so then it comes down to which tyre/wheel combination is lighter ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Alford To: Ozdat discussion list Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 3:26 PM Subject: What size wheels are best? Hey listers,   I have been having a long running discussion with a guy I race with regarding wheel sizes, and what size wheel is best to run. I thought I might throw the question open to the list and see what thoughts are out there.   What I would like to know is - What size (diameter) wheel is best to run? the choice is between two sizes 13" and 14" (both with 7" width). Something else that also needs consideration is the tyre that I must run. If I run the 13" I can use a 205/60. If I run the 14" I must run a 195/60. (Everyone must use a 60 series tyre)   So who out there has some thoughts on which combination I should run? I would also like to know the reasons behind peoples thoughts.   I look forward to the feedback.   Mark.   --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
