Wheel and tire set up is very important. The goal is to create the maximum footprint or contact patch between the car and road surface.
Unlike drag racers or commuter cars, Pro-touring Novas utilize wider wheels and tires both front and rear.
Wheel sizes from 17 inches to 20 inches are preferred. Low profile tires are preferred because tire sidewall flex negatively affects the car's handling and steering characteristics.
Wider, low profile tires with minimal sidewalls provide the best handling capabilities for cornering and sharp turns.
