codes note, anyone?

Coles notes: it's called Coles notes, not codes note.

yes, codes...

Just skip to 7:20.


That is where they show a performance comparison on a track.

yes, thanks for the coles ! but then got the coles note?

thats 40 inches not 30

lol it says it on the window

good post.

Best motoring gets a big fat fail.

Try again with tires of equal width and I'll be satisfied.

^ yeah... wtf, lol at the width difference.

thats huge!

:eek:

^ That's not what she said.....

Good video, so much details

18" is for newbs
19" is for real drivers

i thought the same thing too,

then again i thought the 18's would have taken the cake.

skip to 11:10 for the findings

19" tires are so expensive

cost around 600 for each pirelli summers

No kidding, what an absolute waste of time. This "comparison" has about as much value as 19" tires are good on track...

I don't think i would go above 18's personally. For financial and practicality reasons.

I'm more interested in the in-depth detail about the technical improvements in the construction of the newer tires and wheels. The road test is a waste of time and only affirms what everyone already knows.. wider tires offer more grip and bigger wheels give you a harsher ride.

tho it was faster with the 19 I'm sure a lot of people will never track with 19 inch tire/wheel combo

Was that a fair comparison? The 19" rims in rear had 1" more width than the 18", and has better offset :S

even better!
