Thank you.
That's a lot of car for not racing..... that car is typically used on a prepared track that is blown off, then sprayed with a traction compound - VHT, soda water, etc.. Then people select very specific tires to suit the track conditions and temperatures.
And Stock Racing is not slow racing - with a 17.5 on an unprepared track surface on the wrong tires, the car will be undrivable at anything near full throttle.
What I'm trying to say is ..... are you sure you want to use a $800 - $1000 dollar car for playing around?
