Autocross / Solosprint tire size
Hi all, I am looing for DOT race tires for solosprint and can't find anything listed in any size that's close to the stock diameter... Anyone has some ideas ? What do you use ? 
I have to buy wheels, so 17" or 18" will do...
Thanks !

I thought you had to have more or less the same diameter for ABS and the various TCS sensors (obviously the speedo is not a concern). Thanks for your help !

If you have an SCT tuner, you could enter the different tire size. I've done this, but didn't notice a difference, so I don't bother with it anymore. Also, if your ABS is kicking in frequently, you might be braking too hard, too late. As for the TCS, I now keep a post-it on my steering wheel while at the track that says "TURN TCS OFF!". When I forgot to turn it off, my times would be almost a second slower.
