obviously the answer is to use 245's in the front & 285's in the rear!

now, why didn't you guys think of this before?

fwiw, it was never my intention to imply anything negative about Aaron, his driving skill, or his setup, I'm merely pointing out that the results only prove where a driver finished for that particular event. I'm not really sure why you're taking it so personally or feel the need to resort to such behavior

I didn't think you were slamming Aaron at all...and if I did, I'd surely let him defend himself.

What I took offense to:
1. you telling me my comment was irrelevant
2. you telling me what my "position" was
Both of which seem typical of you and get tiresome to me...generally, I get momentarily annoyed when I read such stuff (directed at others normally) and move on (despite your stalker comment, I don't know when the last time was I commented on any post of yours)...for whatever reason, I didn't this time.

I'm sorry if I tweaked your tender spot or misrepresented your post, there wasn't much to go by ... otherwise we're just having a discussion, no need to take it personal

there's nothing wrong with defending your position either
