Default Tire deflection pic
Just received some pics of me on track and came across this crazy amount of tire deflection. Tires were Nt-01's 245/45 and 275/40 on 9" and 10" wheels.

Enjoy and post your own pics!

Looks normal to me, especially with road tyres.

Dwane,

You are not trying hard enough. The inside wheel is still making contract with the asphalt !

Just curious - what kind of wheels are those? Hard to tell from the photo.

Continental DWSs at an autocross. They drove like balloons.

I still need to buy these photos (yay! my car survived TWS without spinning or getting borked!), but my front tire looked pretty narrow in this shot:
