Custom suspension settings, modified pickup points and custom suspension parts: check
Fenders rolled: check
Custom wheels: check
various parts burned up or rubbed on: check

reminder: Tom Kerr has done alot of actual trial and error research to get to the big tires that he runs.

I went to TX2K8 last year with my new set of GT2 factory wheels and Hoosiers
and wrecked them in about 30 minutes.

Do your research,

MK

I have also run Hoosier 275's abnd 335's on 18" wheels. The Michelin front tire I now have is a little greater tread width than the Hoosier. 10.6" as opposed to 10.3. Cross sectional is larger also but I don't know my true dimension as I have it on a smaller wheel than what was used for the measurement by Michelin. Diameter is about the same. Required fender rolling and some camber.
