Let me ask why is it that neither 949 Racing or Goodwin Racing sponsors my favorite forum? Anyways after Emilio posted this here it made me realize that indeed 245's makes more sense than the 225's at least in my limited racing knowledge. Altho' he recommends 10's coz' 9's are slower but in essence slower is essentially good for me in my streets plus I need that lip protection from the curbs lol. In racing the 10's probably is perfect but this is just a canyon carver so 9's are good. I have never received a gift by just buying a set of tires but Maxxis knows how to treat their customers right. Free shipping and I ordered on a Friday and I got it the following Tuesday. And that is what they call standard shipping lol. Anyhow here is that new tire mated to a Gen 4th Charcoal 6UL which also shipped so quickly from Goodwin Racing. This combo weighed a grand total of 36 lbs. off my commercial scale. The 6UL tipped the scale at 12.9 and the Maxxis at 23.1 which basically gained me 3.3 lbs per corner compared to my old set-up of Konig Wideopen 15x8 +20 wrapped with 195-50-15 Toyo Proxes. Not bad for a massive contact point gain and a bit of bragging rights against my fellow bench racers lol
This is how this 10th AE should have rolled off the plant IMO. 949 Racing/Emilio really nailed the proper offset on this 15x9's which in my world looks proper for the 245's thus making the car look poised and well behaved lol. Also the BBS looking curves of the 6UL's and the 1"+ amount of lip are perfectly complementing the classic design flow of our Miata.
