Tire sizes, How much is too much.

[Toycoma]

car at around 2800 pounds + - say 150 pounds.
200 whp
300 whp
400 whp

what sizes would you run, do you run, think you should run?

my opinion is
200whp 215 front 225 rear
300whp 215 front 235 rear
400 whp 225 front 245 rear

It depends on the wheel size and offset, but I'd say wider, maybe 10-15 mm to each size. I also like to have the same size all around, until probably over 300 hp.

225 f should be fine for whatever hp you are running, unless you are road racing and getting mad speed but for drift 225/235 are both fine, I prefer 225's some s14 drivers prefer 235 and some 215 but most s14 drivers that run 215's are running lower power so they arent getting as much speed anyway to need the wider tire. rears I would say even at 200whp you want 235's all the way up to 265's for 400whp. I have friends that run 245's with 375whp and they arent wide enough he just rips em up. Alot of it is preference so mess around with different sizes.

for instance I run 225/225 with 150whp ka, will probably run 225/245 with the new car 240whp sr. if they are too hard to spin I will go back down to 235's. Thats for comp though messing around I have a bunch of 225's so I will be running those for now. I prefer a very sticky setup as I like to carry a lot of speed in drift.

are you on hoosiers or do you just not like the gas pedal?

200whp= at least a 255
300whp = 275 or bigger
400whp=what can you find
