The Striker Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 i am thinking of putting 13X6 on the front & 13x8 on the rear what would be the advantage disadvantage of this set up, my main use is 5050 road and sprint hillclimb many thanks Peter
Pelico Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Wider rims/wheels on the back tend only to be worthwhile if you have lots of power. 185bhp is a break point oft mentioned on this site. L811 VTR BRG/Yellow SuperSport
scooby dooby doo Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 which tyres are you thinking of 🤔 205 yoko 32Rs ideally want a 7" rim, CR500s an 8" and ACB10s an 8.5"..... HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R
scooby dooby doo Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 agree that about 180 bhp is the point where 6" / 185 rears aren't enough. Its certainly somewhere over 150 bhp, possibly more like 170 🤔 HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R
stevefoster Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Agree about the break point BHP or there about's except in the wet when the narrower tyre has better surface pressure and actually grips better in my expereince. Hants (North) and Berkshire Area club site here My racing info site here
