Have you read the rules for Honda Challenge? They allow rolling of the fenders and any modifications you want under the fenders. You just can't pull/stretch them at all. They must retain the OEM profile when viewed from above just like you can't see the top of the tire from above and be legal. You can easily fit 245 width Hoosiers under OEM rolled fenders front and rear with a properly offset wheel.

I have a turbo S2000, and I can run TT4 - TT2. I wouldn't run the 275s in TT4, haha. I would run the 245 R7 in TT4. I am also not worried about my car ever running Honda Challenge.

I ran sebring last month on 275/35 17 A7's on 949 17x10's. However my fast lap was done on a 235 on a 17x9. In fact on the data the corner grip was nearly identical between the 2, but the pull off the corners was significantly better on the 235/640 17. Oh and 3 mph on the end of the straight as well.

A bit more expensive but these are very nice, I got them in black and they look great. No rubbing on rear with a good roll but I do have wide fenders up front so if you are on stocks you may need to pull just a bit.

How is everyone so seemingly OK with basically being required to run a hoosier to be competitive? Shouldn't tires with similar power to weight modifiers be capable of generating equivalent-ish lap times? I don't understand this and it frustrates me
A 245 RE71R will never in a million years compete with a 225 R7 on a 10" wheel and yet they both are a 0.7 modifier in TT4.

I understand all of these drawbacks but still don't understand why it would be assessed the same points modifier as a 225 R7 (which is really a 245). It seems like a cruel joke to declare them equivalent by classification.

its the tire to run plus it pays contingency... buy a set used. go faster, win free tires and now rinse and repeat... no longer have to buy tires only pay hoosier for shipping plus hoosiers are a lot more fun to drive on
