My significanly undersized tires and some pulls with an e46 m3 got me thinking and brings us to this thread.
Long story short, I am only pulling 2 cars on an e46 m3 - and frankly, I think it should be more. I know my motor has yet to be fine tuned, but dyno'd 261whp/231wtq so it shouldn't be as close as it is. Sometimes it's only 1 car.
My tires are pretty undersized. I was running 215/40/16's in the rear, I just bought and now have mounted 225/45's. The 215's looked like rubber bands compared to the 225's. According to my logic and calculations, there should be a noticeable difference in acceleration (not by the butt, but by comparison when running alongside another car) and even a noticeable difference on the dyno.
I am not going to post my calculations or my logic quite yet... I want to see your thoughts on the matter first and what the general consensus is.
