Tire sizes

Measuring ourselves by the size of our tires are we

I always thought it was shoe size (14 for me)

I have a size 14 shoe and a 315 tire, so I'm covered either way!

275/40-17 are unobtanium. Looks like Spring racing will be over before more are available. May have to go with BFG R1.

Maybe the issue is a certain alignment or tire size but I've been running r6's in the 285-30-18 and have never had an issue. If I hc them properly I can get 14-16 cycles with the first 8-10 being racing speed w/out noticeable falloff.
