On a at-bar car I hack them down really small, but I think its BEST!! 1.68" front Purples and 1.75" Grey rears. All Parma. After a few practice runs on them, they are even smaller and perfect for me!!

This coming practice I am going to experiment with 1.70" fronts and 1.78" rears and see how it goes. My T-fource is already handling really smoothly and sometimes bigger tires makes the car roll through the corners, but often times it makes them tippy if you rerun them. This is assuming your tracks high bite. Where I run (The Gate) theres always grip!!
