TC Racers, 24mm or 26mm Tires

[HauntedMyst]

Over all, which have you have better success with for parking lot racing, 24mm or 26mm wheels/tires?

[HauntedMyst]

No one here has tried both tires?

Both, really. It's not a matter of one being better than the other, only which feels good to you. Assuming you're using the same tire compound, you'll likely notice you have less sidewall with a 26mm tire than with a 24mm, so there's less sidewall flex. But having that also means the car may feel less forgiving over bumps, & you might see a wee bit less overall grip(if you notice a difference at all), & when your car does lose traction it'll happen with less(or no) warning. The good, though, is that the car can feel more responsive with less sidewall, if there's too much sidewall the car might feel like it wallows in corners(steering could feel sluggish), but more sidewall also means a more forgiving car, especially over the rough stuff. Neither way has a serious edge everywhere, it's just something you'll have to try for yourself & decide if you like the feel..... :)

with 26mm tires, you'll have a little more rollout and speed but the car will be less forgivin to drive. 24mm tires are standard and are probally the best for parkinglots.
