Default Tire Diameter

I am getting into 1/12th scale again. I raced it probably about 10 years ago and after an unsuccessful attempt to get Micro racing in the area I am trying out 1/12th again. It always was my favourite type of racing.

Anyway on to my questions. What is a good tire diameter to start with for local club racing? I know what size they use at the big races (approx 1.9" rear and 1.7" front) but can you start a little bigger and still have a good handling car?

Could someone also suggest a good starting rollout for a 19 turn motor. The track is 60 x 60.

Thanks
