You can put wider tires on the rear on stock manholes? What's the best set up for 16s? I'm planning on getting new tires for my '86 real soon. Ever since I installed the S3000 chips the wheel spin is getting too much on my crappy tires. Lost traction and fishtailed a little going in a straight line when she shifted to 2nd gear on a hard acceleration. I can't gun bunny her anymore or they'll light up.

I certainly prefer the way my 928's handle when the front and rear tire widths are closer to the same vs rear wider than front. 245 and 255 on my PanAm rims on my '95 GTS feels SO GOOD!!!! That car does not have a grip problem in acceleration though as it is stock (for the most part...some exhaust might make it a touch faster than stock)... The '93 with the S/C on it is HIGHLY grip limited even with 275's... So that car carries 275 and 235... feels pretty good and needs the rear grip, but the '95 is far more neutral handling which I prefer!

AFAIK, they don't intentionally have races between their wheels down hills.
But I'll stick with my Panamera wheels...cuz they look cool.

We seem to be agreeing on most of this, but the downhill race is won by the assembly that you don't want. There, the more massive object accelerates more quickly, as it has a lower rotational inertia to mass ratio. However, it has a higher rotational inertia, so it will accelerate more slowly for a given force, e.g. on a car on the level.
