I thought the rules mandated a 9" tire now. Can you run smaller if you want?

Narrower is ok but probably not a good idea on some of the faster cars.

I went from a 9" to an 8", car picked up a little. The car seems more consistent, doesn't slow down as much after they spray the track. I would run something even narrower if I could find something the right diameter.
