CAMARO6 - View Single Post - LT1 Convertible, grippy 245mm tires VS updrade to wider rims/tire

I have 235/50R18s MPS4S's on my 4200 lb Genesis v8 380hp luxo barge daily driver. Tires grip just fine. The car is chassis limited not tire limited.

I don't recommend a staggered setup unless you're going to do a lot of straight line launching, and even then you have to keep the diameters close to avoid stabilitrack issues. IMO staggered not necessary for canyon carving, and you'll lose most if not all of your treadwear warranty if that matters.

Even with the superior chassis and extra weight, a LT1 vert Camaro at 3800ish lbs should do just fine in canyons with 245s if they're the right tire. I would have no concerns putting MPS4S's on a LT1 vert. Did an BMW autocross event and they ran tires smaller than 245 on their cars. I plan to put a set of MPS4S on my ZL1 vert here soon.
