haa it looks odd, i mean its like a big rim but low profile tire.. looks too street and not that race were used to? if you know what i mean?

i think if they went from 13 to 14 or there abouts it wold be ok.. but not more than that...
Aaaah okay. Yeah I agree they're a bit too low profile, but I think LMP tyres with the F1 seat position would start to limit forward visibility (toward apexes which is different to where I defended the halo pylon before anyone jumps on me for inconsistency :lol: ) a bit much.

Indycar are 15" or 16" wheels which looks good. That said if they went super low profile we'd get used to it!
