Re: Yellow Stuff & Hoosiers - Grippy
I'll get some pics up by the weekend. I will definitely need to run at least 5mm spacers up front. The 225 AD08's are a little wider than the 225 Conti's, but I still didn't need wheel spacers.
I bought my second set of wheels from Brian "NoCones" Hertwick (sp), and he claims to have gotten 285 35 18s on the stock wheels with only 5mm spacers. If all goes well with the 245s, I may experiment later in the season with some wider rubber.
On the brake pad side, last season I felt that I didn't get all the stopping power with the OEM pads. Tires weren't screaming, and I just seemed to take forever to slow down.
On the down side, we've had two events cancelled so far this season. The only event run was cut short by rain. A very frustrating 2011 so far.
