It's the same, or very nearly the same.

grass roots pulled over 1 g with better street tires and alignment tweeking back in 88 or 89 with a a turbo II.

 

I wonder how much a difference 225's would make.

 

its not so much the width as the compund. r compond ruber glues you down!

 

but they wear out after 5k miles.

 

buy in bulk

 

Well I personally pulled .86g's in my sport with its 15 year old suspension and some ok tires. I only did two runs the first one was .83 the second I pulled .86 and I never lost grip on the tires. I only stopped becuase I got dizzy.
