Michelin TB15 on SC/Carrera body

Hi everyone,

I want to try some Michelin TB15 on my SC. I switched from 16“ Fuchs to 7“ & 8“x 15“ Fuchs. I saw a couple of SC bodied cars with TB‘s in 18/60-15 on the front and 23/62-15 on the rear. On the pictures below it looks quite tight on the rear, so I wonder if some of you guys have experience with the setup mentioned above?

The grey car runs the TB‘s on 7“& 8“ while the red/orange car has 7“& 9“.

Thank you
Marc

Both front and rear are near maxed especially so in back, The relatively short tire height alleviates that to a large extent, but it's still likely that extra camber is run and probably lip work as well

the rears call for a minimum wheel width of 8.5" running them on 8s will impose a squishy/sloppy quality to the ride, fronts ideally want a 7.7 and the rears ideally want a 10.5
