I say the C3M because no one is running those on a 2. Plus i can get them for you.
An oversized tire hurts performance just as bad as a skinny/stretch tire does, x7 and 225 is a bad combo. Ideally you're suppose to run a x9 with 225s for the best possible performance value, so a whole two inches skinnier than that is gonna make for a ton of tire flex in the sidewall whille trying to perform, so you'll be running "big boy" tires, but using them incorrectly. Just throwing it out there.
I understand that. It was just an idea. In the end I'll probably just go with 205's. Maybe even 195's because they're so much cheaper. Still love the look of wide tires though.

Haha oh youu.
Btw Roddy, can you get me specs on the spring length/Inner Diameter of the front coilover springs on the Ksports? That would be most welcome.
When the time comes, you'll know which way I'm going, or not . I'm still very open to both.
And cool beans duder. Thanks

Ksport - Spring inner diameter is 62mm
Actually a little stretch is good! 225s on a x9 are slightly stretched, it makes the sidewall more stiff which is great while cornering. Sorry if my statment came off as sounding like all stretched tires are bad, because thats definitely not true, but excessive stretch(195 on a 9 for instance) does hurt performance big time.
Thats how I feel about tires. I won't even know until I buy them. Lol
I got the answers -
Thanks! Any dimensions on spring length?
I am somewhat familiar. A while back I was looking to get into the TAG class but it was a lot more expensive than I thought it would be. I looked at the clones to but I wanted something faster. They are extremely fun though. I go drive the rental karts every now and then and have a ball.
Wow dude, I did not see this. I swear that it never showed up on my computer, but I saw it on my iPod. That's pretty cool man! Always cool when someone is familiar with the sport. Yeah, it is expensive.. 5 digits for a season for me.. Yikes. I traveled around my whole province up here when I raced. The karts I raced reached 100 mph down the straight I'm actually travelling on in the pic above. I was gonna go into a TAG championship series up here, that was to an be televised, but the Karts were Chinese shitboxes, so the whole series flopped. Unfortunately, that's when my "career" in t ended. Miss it more than anyone can know.
