What makes the fist respond so well to hybrid turbo

[Clint Beastwood]

I wonder what the biggest tire someone put on a fist is. Obviously there are slicks, and super sticky barely road legal tires like the R888 but there’s so much compromise with tires like that. If someone found a way to put a 255 tire on a fist, you could get away with a tire that is way less aggressive and way better in wet conditions.

I believe I have seen posts where people went to 225 or maybe even 235 tires with minimal changes to the body. I wonder if that’s true/how the car drove. In a perfect world, 225/235 is probably the minimum size I would want on my fist. If we could slap a 245 or so on them. I think it would make a hugeeeee difference.

I dunno, over-tired cars aren't all they're cracked up to be - breaking traction is cheaper than breaking drivetrain tbh

I remember with old air cooled vw's, I could run 11's with skinny tires that chirped and squirmed and spun - I was advised to keep skinnier tires, but I "knew better" and put on some big ol' meats - guess what? Mechanical failure on the first pass because no wheelspin, I grenaded the trans. Being 17 was awesome, but man... learning to listen to more experienced people was quite a road to travel.
