Re: Just ordered my new AMR Engineering Coilovers
Steve, you may have more comfort if you switched to a 17 inch wheel. You may even get better handling out of it. Usually a 40 profile tire is for form, not function.

Re: Just ordered my new AMR Engineering Coilovers
How is less sidewall not for more function? Less sidewall flex = more responsiveness.

Re: Just ordered my new AMR Engineering Coilovers
I haven't ever seen someone at a track day running a 14" wheel. usually it's the of road guys running small wheels with more sidewall.

Re: Just ordered my new AMR Engineering Coilovers
not saying go as small as possible but race teams usually run around a 40-50 sidewall.
less sidewall flex = tire isnt conforming to the road or spreading out to increase the patch of tire contacting the road.
