Default Re: are tires the answer to faster 0-60?

so i think about it and i remember that the srt-4 actually downsized the stock tires for a lil extra acceleration. so would the crossfire be faster with say 17's and 18's? I was just wondering as i'm not real familiar with the specific topic of tires.
The SRT-4 your referring to with the "downsized" tires is the ACR, a limited production version. The rest of them have 17's still. BTW, those "downsized" rims are 16's and are made by BBS, nice rims!
