20" wides on a go cart. .
Has the new tire size forced him to be in higher gears than before? In many places?With the current trend of bigger is better.... is their a point when its too much? A buddies gen 5 ZL1 is running on R7 335/30-18's all the way around, and though he has amazing grip he seems to one second slower then he used to be.
Since most of the supers run articulating wings, that's not a great example, but point taken.
Sorry modernbeat, nothing is lighter than an MG Midget with the exception of a box of Kleenex.
At some point out there, there will be an edge, whether it's a kart, or formula car or a sedan, at some point a fat, sticky tire can very well become the point of diminishing returns.
If you were to take that miata, and run 14 inch , 45 durometer tires on it, (or whatever) fire it into a corner without lifting, ever, the car is probably too tight.
That reminds me of a R&T (I think...) article that showed 1/4 mile times of different comman tire upgrades on a golf gti..... the widest was the slowest time. But then again not a very powerful car.In any case, my point is that you should run the smallest tire that provides adequate traction

Out of curiosity, what size can you get on the Europas?
