Rob is probably going to have to worry more about swells than pot holes. Although if he does take his boat out on the road, I'd hate to be in it when he hits a pot hole with his hellaflush rims.
Matt your still mad about that beer aren't you? I knew the pot holes are what led you to the Rubicon set up
I agree with this statement: That difference in scrub between a 30 and 35 series tire of the same section width on the same wheel would be pretty minimal and in real world probably insignificant.
I have had talented race drivers we developed to the nth degree ... with amazing feel & feedback ... that can tell you if you changed the tire 1/4 pound of air pressure, .030" of bump stop shim, which suspension corner stopped traveling 1/16" earlier than the other or if there was extra clearance in your ring & pinion gap.
A Crew Chief/Tuner can have a lot of confidence in those situations. These particular drivers & I won a lot of races together.
And on the other hand ... I've seen drivers that couldn't tell you if they hit a pothole or not. So I think "noticeable" is also relative.

So is the Mustang going to be track only?
Couldn't possibly be mad about the beer. DG isn't the only beer snob around here, although he might be the beer snob captain around these parts. Makes sense really. Our cars are kind of the automotive equivalents of beer tastes on champaign budgets.
