well i dont know about that but i saw the chaser with 295s in the back when bladder was taking pictures of the car.
They were definately running 275/295 basically DOT-R tires.
That equals a 855 width in Nexen N3000 terms.
lol... I know....--_--;; wish I could've gone
well thats good that Harri is postponing it.
Haha.... but i don't think the nexen's are that bad i really like them.
I've tried the 275's last year they didn't worked not even down hill from VIR running 40psi. I wanna try them again with more power.
Btw i know Saito was running 25psi in his back tires.

oh trust me i dumpster dive for em all the time, but i know a few people out there have their tire sponsors. but its not real easy finding the exact size you want when diving, and those guys running those 275 and up in the rear probably pay a fortune for those damn tires, certainly cant find those thrown away. but lately the dumpsters havent been good to me with some 235's even, thats why i was on 205's that i slapped on stock se's.

J dudes at d1 were running 255-265 in front, and 265-295 in back. Not that big of tire compared to what some of the Formula D v8 guys run.
It depends. If I had a 400hp 2j, Ls1, rb26, etc. I'd run brand new 275s at least. But... a 400hp rotary and brand new 255s seems good, but my car is pretty light too. The lighter your car, the less tire you need. You have to take into consideration that torque is what is spinning your tires. Not horsepower.

yea i know son, my comment was for Rob D saying that he was told he needed more tire on his 400 hp LS1 in the FC. Pretty sure 275 would be pretty perfect and 300's+ are too big.
but yes, trq is more important than hp
