    Oil weight

    Suspension noise

    Tire sidewall side

    I looked but couldn't find a whole lot about tire sidewall and impacts on handling. Looking at the Firestone indy500 for track tires and im wondering if 245/40 vs 245/35 is a huge difference. The 245/35 has more tread width and would have a smaller diameter to reduce the chances of rubbing...
