That's what I was looking at. Do you notice a tighter turn in with the shorter sidewall?

Possibly. The NT01 is only available in a 245/40 so I was using that with a 315/30 in the back. The conti I have now is 200 vs 100 tw tire. I also like the rake with the smaller diameter in the front.

I only rub at full lock even though my car is fairly low. 18x9 front wheel. The size was recommended by a few of my SCCA friends that run the same Hoosier slick dimension in front.
