Looking at the Hoosier website, I see that for the two tire sizes of 255 and 275 they rec'd the following:

255 rim range 8.5-10
275 rim range 9-11

So, which would be optimal and why for a 9" wide wheel? Just face validity says go with the 275 so you have more grip but I'm just trying to get smart on tire/wheel bests fit applications.

THANKS!!!

Dell-
All things being equal you'd like to have a wheel that is at the wider end of the correct application to minimize tire roll.
Is this for the front or rear of your car?

That's what I figured Eddie. It's for the back. The wheels are 8" front and 9" rear on the RSA. I run the 245's up front and the 275's in rear but didn't know if there would be a difference running the 255 (better or worse).

Thanks for the input!

I'm pretty sure the 255's Hoosier has are taller than the 275's and that's why I've never gone with them.
Hate to loose the gearing.

I didn't even think about the gearing issue. And God knows in the 964 that those first couple gears can be rather long

Looks like I will stick with the 275. I was wondering why most of the guys were running the 275. Know I know!

Thanks again Marc (and Eddie)
