Hey Chris,


The smallest I ran mine where 1.58" to 1.60 front to about a 1.68 rear On my car. My car ran fine, you just have to let the traction soak in a little longer. A larger Dia tire will hold traction longer than a smaller Dia tire. I just think you went too heavy in the dampner tubes.

Gotta question. I'm well aware of how silly small of a tire I can run on the DB12RR, but how small is too small? Seems like the rears go below 1.700 things start to get a little unpredictable.
