Guy's I'm hoping to get some feedback on front tire sizes for common boxstock cars we race-- I know there is a range of sizes but what is the minimum you have found. These are the cars I'm hoping to get minimums for:
Tomy SRT
Mega-g
Super g+
Turbo
LL t-chassis
LL-M chassis
Microscalectrix
Aw SuperIII
Tyco/Mattel 440 x-2
Marchon
Thanks again!

That's a long list of cars to experiment with. Experimenting is exactly the process to find the right size tire set up.
Also this can change form track to track and change dramatically going from plastic sectional to routed tracks.
It's a matter of experimentation that you'll need to find on your track or the track you run the most on.
Beside clerarence issues you also have to be aware of the temp the car is running with the magnetic traction resistance it's creating getting by lowering traction magnets closer to the track with smaller tires.
Hope this helps

Its pretty easy to get a batch of ground fronts made, so how about a blanket .35 minimum across all chassis?

Guys I'm writing rules for our new series locally. I've got a few of some of these cars so I know there is a range when you take cars out of the package. Just trying to find the lowest out of package size you've seen for each of the above car types.

So you don't want people to grind and true them? It is a lot more tech that way.

For box stock 440X2 the old stock sponge rear tires that are .472,
with a little Champion Tire Bite on them would be the way to go.
