z ya Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 How do you think traction will differ from these two set ups?? I know the 60 series has the sidewall flex advantage but the 315's have the contact advantage. Do you think the 315 Nitto DR's would hook hard out of the hole?? My suspension set up is geared towards drag racing but I am digging the road race or pro touring type look and still want the car to be able to hook up on launch.

stony Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 they both will hook decent but the less side wall you have the less bite you will have. you will smoke the 17s easier then the 15s in teh smae situations. (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Both tires will have basically the same amount of rubber in contact with the road. One will have a deep contact patch and the other will have a wide contact patch. For drag racing, deeper is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
