i've read somewhere here that the 16/19 belt conversion is supposed to address the issue of tire wear (someone correct me if im wrong though). will this be a major issue as well if i only use rubber tires. where we race, rubbers are often used (for one reason or another) so i'm just wondering if there is any real advantage of doing this 16/19 belt conversion considering i use rubber tires most of the time. appreciate any input/s on this.

you got pm.
you need tire split of 4mm between front and rear to start with and at the end of the race day you wont be having a bigger front tire diameter. some other advantages is the smaller front tire wall with less diameter that you have to give you more solid front end while cornering. i do believe with the lower front tire size does affect the front roll centre.
