time to get some semislick/street slicks circut tyres.

would you see any problems with a 255/40/17 with a 94W

im not worried about the load rating, but ive had 245/45/17's and yer, a 255/40 should be alright and a good choice for some circuit work ya? Falkeen Azenis RT215

or should i just stick to the 245/45/17 for this track work?

actually, i only just found out that the rim it would be going onto is only a 17x7... so would limit the width of the tyre anyway yes? (sorry, previous experience has only been with a 17x9" rim :()

cheers guys.

that depends if u need them 2 be legal or not. legally u can't have anything wider than a 225 on a 7" rim, but my spare has a 235 on it, i'm sure it could stretch to a 245
