fwd class dirt
we have to use dot street radials, no dirtboss etc, no snows 200+ utqg. no siping. 14,15, height is open (50-75 ok)
generally is it always better to go with the widest?
for instance i can make a 235-60-14 work under the strut, cooper cobra comes in this size. goodrich radial ta comes 225-60-14. we are allowed 50 and 55 series tires that come wider but most of these tires have no real tread. i can also make a 205-70-14 with a bit nicer tread fit but it is obviously narrower
guess the question is, how much should you trade off in width to get a bit better tire tread? is 60 series mostly better than 70?
