Default Question for the top finishing B-street s2000 drivers...
Anyone know what size tires Andrew Smedegard and Alex Muresan were running on the front of their car?

Thanks

Smedgard was running a 255 square setup.

Does the 255 really fit with stock +55mm offset and less than -2° camber?

It takes a little extra effort to mount them when the tires are new but outside of that I had no issues with fender or fender liner clearance when I ran 255 square z2s for BS

Has anyone tested 245 vs 255 Bridgestone RE-71R's on the front of the car?

We've already discussed this off-site, but for future edification of other folks, the 245 was a HUGE step up above the 225. Large degree of front grip increase with minimal effect on feel.

No doubt 245 is better than 225. But I'm curious about 245 vs 255.

Of course, this was mostly for others that may question pinching a wide tire on a skinny wheel .
