Hey George, I just made the big move to 8&9's...
I think 245/45 is the size of choice for the 9's on back...
I went with 225/45 on the front 8's, and they work quite nicely so far...
For 7's on front, you'll probably get different opinion's.. If it were me, I would stick with 205/55's on the front... I tend to go with the idea of sticking the widest wheel on the tire... Bigger than that on the front, would be similar to putting a 245/45 on an 8 on the rear. Too much slop for me!
You should consider getting some 951 8's for the front. Ralph just did the same change!
Will I see you out at Willow next week??

Patrick My goal is to make it out to Willow, hence the reason for the tires.

Then again some people say that almost bald tires are ok for the track. I'm not one to take risk, not with tires at least.

So who all is going? Anyone else?
