I still dont understand the issue here. You have the wheels already in 11. Run them on 315s. I decided to run 315 on 10.5s because of weight. The 11s were an additional pound per side and my car is already light (2900 dry), so the rotational mass was a big deal. I have, and continue to, outdrive cars that on paper i shouldnt be. So the 10.5s are perfectly fine on 315 ao52 tires, but again. You already have the 11s. Its a no brainer. Run em

Joining the group willing to use the word " Stupid " since you are in the Midwest and you are aware that all the CAM guys are using " Fat Rubber. " You are already fast and I will jump right in there and tell you that your recent, very solid , 1:54 at Heartland Motorsport Park would easily be 1-2 seconds faster on those fatter sticky black rubbers. PS -- I will buy you a beer if I am not correct about that time improvement , haha! Need to get you to the Central Region NASA events next year, since I know you are already a fast Autocrosser with SCCA ----- more track time will drop your times down quickly.

A052s are an ok choice for Topeka, since unlike many tracks HPM is very easy on tires. The Yokes won't melt there, like they will do at some road courses.
