tyre widths for progressive breakaway
Discussion
Sorry if this has been done before (links please?). I need 4 new tyres (limits enjoyably explored at Bruntingthorpe last Saturday) and am considering the possibility of changing wheel sizes at the same time.
My primary aim is to achieve a more progressive breakaway transition at the limit of adhesion, probably at the expense of absolute grip.
Secondary aim is to keep costs down. On other vehicles I've seen cost savings to be had by moving to more common rim diameters.
My current sizes are 215-15 F and 235-16 R, on a griff500 with PAS, but I've seen tyre sizes 205 to 225 F and 235 to 245 R quoted as standard fit.
Your experience of different sizes and manufacturers is much appreciated.
