[QUOTE="iismet, post: 14815739, member: 15250"] [b]2015 Tracking[/b] We got to run the car for the first time this year earlier in the month. It seems with the release of the R7, Hoosier no longer offers a 40 series tire. We ran the 35 and it was just great. We finally figured out how to get more camber out of the front. We could not achieve 3 deg, but did get 2.5 and I was amazed how well it handled. We got it on the trailer with less than 1/4" clearance for the splitter. With the 35 tires a finished 4x4 will not slip under. I believe we were 3 5/8 to the ground under the splitter. The R7 is a very nice tire. It looked much better than an R6 after a day but then again 1.8 deg camber is not enough for the tire as it tends to roll over which prematurely ruins the tire.
