I’ve wondered why Stock Elim. guys run the tall front tires when RT is so important. I can see why the Super classes want the short tire, I would think the Stockers would too, unless they’re racing class or chasing a record and want every bit of run at the tree they can get.
The stock/super stock guys run the tall tires because yhey give more rollout, making the car appear faster. They adjust when they leave on the tree to account for it.
I run 23x5 frontrunners on a protree car, partly because they fit (very small front wheelwel), but mostly for reaction time. I have 165x15 on the full tree car, but leaving on the light where im comfortable gets me too many red lights, so im gonna try 235/75x15s. They are almost five inches taller. Reaction time will be slower, car will appear faster. If i dont like the change, easy to change back.
