Best tire selection is going to be 18s and your ride quality won't suffer much because your not riding on rubber bands. My wheels weigh 17lbs Idk of many 19-20 inch wheel even close.
Weren't you have a lot of traction problems at Ennis?

No traction until 4th gear most runs... And that's if second gear wouldn't lock me out. My car is running Star specs which are more suited for road course/autocross use. Hard sidewall and require a decent amount of heat to grip anywhere, not to mention a 275/35/18 which changes my gearing quite a bit. I'm into 5th gear quite a bit to hit my 113mph trap lol I honestly think I would have been better on the stock all season Pirelli tires.
