Mechanics, engineers, pretendgineers I have a question for you all.
At a friends yard we have a nice big skid pan that we all skid our cars around on; I have a 323i with coilovers, a 3.38 welder and a stripped out rear, in the wet, it's great, can hang the arse out without any problem, in the dry it's a bit more of a challenge and to skid in second requires a hell of a lot of clutch kicking.
Question I have for you all is, if I got shot of my 235/45/17's in favour of a 15 inch wheel with and thinner tyre, would he be easier to get loose the rear in the dry?
Would there be any serious ramifications from doing this, not necessarily, less grip in the wet, increase tyre wear, yadda, yadda, yadda, I'm talking any gearbox issues with such a change in wheel?
Many thanks all
