  • TIRES!!! This Is Because Your Car Can Only Perform As Well As the Capability of Its Tires
    How to PROPERLY select and size TIRES for PERFORMANCE - MotoIQ about:reader?url=https://motoiq.com/how-to-properly-select-and-size-tire... motoiq.com How to PROPERLY select and size TIRES for PERFORMANCE - MotoIQ byBilly Johnson 5-7 minutes How to PROPERLY select and size TIRES for PERFORMANCE Posted on August 24, 2015September 3, 2018 How to PROPERLY select and size TIRES for PERFORMANCE 1 of 6 1/4/2019, 10:19 AM How to PROPERLY select and size TIRES for PERFORMANCE - MotoIQ about:reader?url=https://motoiq.com/how-to-properly-select-and-size-tire... by Billy Johnson The most important part of your car is not the engine, suspension, or brakes. It’s the TIRES!!! This is because your car can only perform as well as the capability of its tires. I’m often asked which tire is best and what size to buy. In this article I discuss my methods for choosing and properly sizing the right tires. I’m not into the “hella-flush” or “stance” scenes so this article is focused towards those who care about the PERFORMANCE of their car, whether on the street or on the track. Pirelli had the best slogan for a tire company: “Power is nothing without control.” This is true for all forms of driving since it does not matter how much power you have if you can’t put it to the ground, it doesn’t matter how much you spend on a big brake kit if they easily lock up the tires, and your $7,000 coilovers can only deliver the performance that your tires are capable of.
