Dear,
i bought four 10X8 mini wheels and i would like to fit 180X10 Dunlop Racing Tires for trackday use.
Could you please tell me if it's good or not if i use them with my C20XE F20 mini project ?
Please to give me your opinion !
Best regards
Sébastien

I would expect 10's to spin up very easily with the power of the c20, althought it depends how sticky the tyres are. I'd have a look around 16vminiclub.com to see what others are using with this engine.

My K-series will be running 10's

I believe the final drive of the gearbox helps determin whether 10's will be effective or not... but i'm not expert... PM Jammy... think he's running tens.

i didnt know that you was making a k-series retro!

I thought that 13's would have been better because you would get the power down tothe road quicker i would have thought and i was told that 13" would be better. I also havent seen any 20XE's running 10"s, they have all been 13+

But if you can run 10's with on a 20xe then i think i will kep my wellers :angel:

Theres the XE powered mini on the latest DVD (Mini Mayhem, with Ades Minus) that was running tens and it was wheel spin happy.
