Tire Choice, A6 or Smaller Full Race Slick?
Hey guys I was hoping I could ask your help on a tire question.
2 options.
1 18x10 and 18x11 with a full race slick(Michelin) approx 295/295 front and rear.
2 18x10 and 18x13 with Hoosier A6 295/345 setup. (I'd also be getting fenders for the rear)
Which would be faster during a 20 minute session.

but not with 295/345 set up. too wide of a discrepency IMO.
295/315 or 295/335 or 305/335 315/335 or 315/345

Interesting that the A6 will be quicker than the Michelin Race slick(Not the cups).
I have 18x10 and 18x11s now.
I was considering getting the rear Z fenders that are 1k.
Running 18x10 and 18x13 in the rear.
Hmm or selling the wheels and get 18x11 and 18x13s.

Wow, A6's are THAT fast? I've been waisting a bunch of time looking for so TT slicks thinking there has to be something faster than the A6 in a full slick, but now I dont know.
Guess I'll try the A6 first.
