To an extent. I also saw a doozie last year where a guy in an Infinit G37 was on 21's and super super low profile tires stretched. He destroyed the lip each of his front wheels from rollover on the first run. Imperfect surfaces + extremely tight cornering + idiotic tires and wheels = your hellaflush on blaydz is not welcome here.
If I could do an 11.5" or 12" wheel in the rear I'd ABSOLUTELY do a 325 tire and an 11" wheel and 305 tire front. However just because of tire availability with all of the hot tires, I opted to square off at 11" and 305's. Unfortunately the perfect world didn't fall into my lap this time around. Personally I think I'll do perfectly fine on 305/30's all around in CAM-C Class with a killer compound. It's more about the driver in autocross. I'm very interested to see how those Hankook RS4's work out. I won't be buying tires until the initial tests come out though around March/early April. Too many tires to get excited about, Dunlop ZII successor, Hankook RS4's, a new Falken, potentially a BFGoodrich Rival S replacement...oh yes. Lots to look forward to.
Don't get your hopes up over the new Falken. I was part of the tire test and they were still .5 seconds slower than the RE71R on a 35 second course.
To that point, I'm not surprised with Falken. They've kinda always seemed to have been shyte but the "price was right" or whatever. So far the 71R is still king then?
I agree. A fat tire has slow transient response and are sloppy.
Still the fastest. Highest G loads in any axis.
