26.6 vs 23" bias ply, treaded, a little harder compound. there's 1.8" for ya.

hmm -

Hoosier R7

24.6 and 25.8 - not pretty, very low to the ground (cannot get a low profile jack under the rear cradle), very lite.

Front 245x50 on 8 inch rim = 36 lbs (-10 lbs Minlite/Avon)
Rear 275x50 on 10 inch rim = 37 lbs (-20 lbs Minilite/Avon)

60 lbs of un-sprung ( I had counted on 40, but could not get it all from the wheels.) I will have achieved 80 on the front.

The look is difficult, but if I think of turn 1 somewhere, it looks like it would handle like a go cart.

Thinking I would run the Mini/Avon for show.

Trying to bring myself to post pictures - a lot of details to check (the mono-ball studs will have to be swapped to maintain geometry). The 245 swings thru in both directions.
