I do like the speed of the 17.5 down the straight and who wouldn't. I think 21.5 may be easier to race with others though.

I would suggest though, that if the class gets going, a minimum tire diameter is used much like the original Bolink Legends rules were to discourage cutting the tires down to skins much like WGT is now.

I agree with Rob. Rubber would be best. Until they are available something closer to the OD of the F1 tires would probably be best. However, no whining or crying when the rubber tires come out. This class of car if left on foam tires will get stupid just as fast as WGT did.
