[Bow Tie 67]

Current setup:

Street 18 x 8 with a 245 tire + 3.195 scrub

Track 17 x 9.5 with 275 40 R888 + 3.695 scrub


I will be widening the front street rims to mount 275 width tires.


My question:


Is there a direct correlation between scrub radius and tire width when it comes to traction.


Or maybe I should put it this way:


Would you rather have the extra rubber with increased scrub vs nominal scrub and a smaller contact area?


I am more interested in performance than daily driving / parking.
