Traction Control Needed...

AJ/FormS said

The ET difference, from zero to 30 or even to the top of first gear, without traction aid,being on the tallest, widest,fattest tires that will fit in your tubs, versus what you have on there now, is IMO, not hardly worth the time and dollars to get them in there. Having gone down that road, that's my opinion.

THAT, is my fear as well. I would live with 14.2 before I spend big money gaining clearance for 265's, to after all the work, only hit 14.05. Because I have considered the fact that it could be that the traction of 265's may be not much greater than 225's. And very easily could be NOT ENOUGH more, to hit 13.99.

So, my direction stands. I'm going to go ahead with the 215/60's, for the sake of removing the Maypops, and see what that may give me. These old tires are likely as hard as Hotwheels car "tires." New tires may be much more grippy just due to being new. Maybe they'll get me there. And if they do, I'll be perfectly happy. If they don't, I'm out not much money, and it is, back to the drawing board. :D
