With time to debrief on last weeks shakedown, I am looking to try a change to staggered tire dim. Wonder if anyone is comfortable sharing their experience.
Currently have run 225/45R15's all round on 7inchers and 225/50R15 on 7's front and 8's rear. But all my running is on older tires so difficult to draw conclusion. Transitioning from DE to road racing. Basic set up: E-Production, less than 150hp, wide fender, welded diff, 916 brakes. 911 front. 2008 lbs car Appreciate any insight. Thanks, |

I always kinda thought it depended on motor out put
I’ve got a 2.0/6 so not a ton of torque or high horsepower I’ve never run staggered Always raced (20 years of wheel to wheel and dozens of different race tires) On not staggered. 7 inch rims/225 front and rear Car is very balanced and I fine tune the handling by adjusting the rear sway bar when needed. I think a big motor with 300 foot pounds might need rear grip coming out of a corner. But don’t feel like I do Wet with fuel and no driver around 1800lbs I see a lot of 911s with staggered tires on the track But they are not 50/50 balance. And usually bigger motors with more power |
