I have run mine around 196-197 and it was ok. Much more steering. You need to run the rear a little narrower too though. Rear shouldn't be more than 2mm wider than the front in my opinion. On tracks with a lack of traction this is a way to make the car feel like there is more than there really is. For a really stuck track, you wanna run it about as wide as you can get it though to avoid the dreaded "traction roll."

I guess I'm the first to test very low gear ratio
