For C5Z HPDE
I used Toyo R888 295-30/18 F 315-30/18 R in the past and the car minimally overstered at speed with -1.8 F and -1.1 R camber.
I have recently bought R888 335-30/18 for the rear. What is the better complementary size for the front? 295 or 315 for the track?
(I assume 295 without and 315 with a rear wing to achieve a balanced car.)

Most of the T1 drivers I've raced with run 315s in front. I tried it 2 years ago and found the car a little tail happy so I switched back to 295s. It's really a matter of preference.

I'm interested in this because I've been debating using a 295 up front to tuck inside the fenders better as my 315's up front stick out just enough I wonder if its hurting the aero of the car especially now that I will be running a splitter and wing on the car.

I think the answer lies partly in what size wheels you have. I like 295's on 10" rims, 315's on 11" rims, and 335's on 12" rims. I've also run 295's on 11" rims with no problems. Unlike most T1 racers I don't like running 315's on the front 10" rims. Just a personal preference.

So if you have 11" wheels in front and 12" in back I would run 315/335. I usually run that setup in ST2 and the nice thing is you can run a long time without overheating the tires (ie. all day in hpde). For an all out TT lap I might prefer smaller wheels/tires.

I've got the T1 CCW Classics setup on mine... 17x10 fronts and 17x11 rears. I've run 295's and 315's on the front before but I didn't notice too much difference. Corner entry might be a little better with the 295's but I couldn't tell much from the driver seat.
