I just ran back to back days at the track, one running 225/45/15 NT01's and 205/50/14's. The 225/45/15's feel much much crisper at turn in, and do not not have the same amount of slip angle. If the 205's weren't free, I would have gone right back to 225/45/15s. Cant beat the shorter sidewall and larger contact patch.
who has tracked w/ 225/45 15s?...
