The old Sierra Cosworth had 200bhp going through a mighty 205/50 tyre. Yes old skool compounds and 50 profile! The C43 I ran for a while had a 245 rear tyre for 300bhp.

Even a Corsa 1.4 gets 215 nowadays, such is progress. Cough.

So reversing this trend of ever widening tyres, for Friday night which man, or lady, drives a car with skinny tyres and large bhp through the driven wheels?

Is there anyone with more than 200 bhp with less than a 205 for instance?

I am sure there is. Show us your metal. Or rather lack of it.
