Now if that FRS had aerodynamic modifications and a whole other things done to it. I would expect a better lap timing with wider tyres.

My point is that your tyre should only be as wide as your setup allows you to, so as to make full use of it.

There's always a trade-off, more isn't always necessarily better.

Especially on a stock s2k.

that article is essentially useless as they changed wheel diameter, tyre size and overall diameter all at the same time.

it even specifically states that some of the speed loss on straights was due to the larger diameter tyres. However the results showed it cornered better. I would much prefer to see the results using the same diameter wheel and same overall diameter.
