People talking about limited options for 245/45R16 tires as a reason not to run 9's? There are six streetable options available right now. You only need ONE!

I was thinking some consistency to tire size and type would be a good thing. Two sets of similar wheels running the same size and type tires. I suppose I was thinking street tires.
This made me think "why bother?"

This is a "fun" car. Not a commuter car. Might as well make it as much fun as reasonably possible....ALL THE TIME. That was my thinking, and I always run a 100tdw tire on the widest wheels I could fit. I've driven the last 17,000 miles (since March '18) including two cross country trips on "competition tires." I'm not the only one out there doing this.

That being said...It gets cold enough (it's below freezing right now) in Arkansas that I'm considering putting a set of All Season tires on my 6's & 7's so I can drive it more.
