Specifically, I would like to know:
- What is better about other tires than the stock? Especially the RE71Rs that most people prefer.
- Does treadwear factor in other than the rules? Stock tires are 140 which seems legal at the regional level because they are OE tires. Does that mean they are better if I stay local and don't go to national events?
- Why do many people move down to a 16 inch wheel/tire?
Thank you for your help.
