I am looking at a pair of really cheap slicks ($10 for the pair) of 23.5x10.5 240 compound 17" slicks. These would be just shorter than the tires I have on the car now (by about 1 inch). I would be only using these at the track and just every once in a while. I can see no more than 6 runs a year on them. I originally was looking at 15 or 16 inch sizes, but these came across my lap and if I can save $100 for something that is not exactly what I was looking for its worth it. What are the advantages and disadvantages to running a bigger rim like this??
Ok, mine are about 24.5" tall and about 9.5 inches wide. According to an online tire fit calculator they are 25.6 tall. The 23.5/10.5 would probably fit. I dont' know about the width of the 25/13s. What are the advatages or disadvatages of going with a 16 inch rim over say a 14 or 15 inch rim? I intend on using this at the dragstrip only and not very often even then. What is the difference in the tire compounds?
