CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Tires: Rotating weight vs radial construction

Yes sir. I would think it would slow a faster car less, probably effect a slower car more?
I haven't owned a set of Hoosiers this size (13"x31") so don't know what they weigh.
I have found taller makes more difference than wider as far as hooking also. May not be the same for other cars or tires. Has been the case with everything I have had.

Edit: I would think the tire weight ET effect would also lessen with smaller diameter tires? Like 28" instead of my 31"?
You can tell I'm just an old Okie, not an engineer.
