Neat vid of a Z going around Tsukuba seeing the effects of 18 vs 19 wheels.

YouTube - 18" vs 19" Comparison - The Pros & Cons of your track tire- Best Motoring International

 

I'm watching it and I like what I see so far

Thanks for sharing cvt

 

i think it great that it points out that "stiffness" does not equal great handling...EVOs 8s and 9s (can't speak for the X as i have not had the pleasure) had a good amount of body roll for a sports oriented car...but as we all know they are magic on the track.

 

Good video, but there's a lot of confounding variables.

1. the 19" set used 245/275 vs the 225/245 of the 18" set
2. offsets are different, affecting track and scrub radius. (IIRC, the 19" had a wider track)

 

i noticed that as well...possibly this was due to enkei being the only sole provider for the test? it would have been nice to see more of an apples to apples comparo.
