thin tire walls?

[codyace]

Ultimatly speaking, if you're going to daily drive the car the difference is moot - run whatever is cheapest. If you're a grip guy, you're going to just deal with a beefy sidewall for more contact area. If you're a drift guy, you're going to deal with the slightly thinner sidewall, to help you break traction easier, due to less deflection. All depends on your style.

When you don't run tires that feel like jello, you get better predictability, and tire psi usually stays closer in range.

I mean, a 245 on an 8.5 may feel like jello, but it has more traction. Predictability could be used in the sense of 'oh i know when the tire is going to loose traction' from both extremes no? Certainly an issue of semantics if anything.


The same can be said about PSI. Once you learn the proper PSI to set them at cold, keeping them in spec isn't related to sidewall highet in the least. It's goign to take the stretch/bulge guys the same amount of time to determine the best PSI regardless.
