I curently run 185/60r14 toyo r888 and will be needing a new set begining of next year. I think that I would like to try out some smaller tyres and wheels ie 185/60r13 to try and get through my gears quicker.

what a peoples opinion on runing smaller wheels.

I can do the whole of barbagellos in 3rd apart from coming down the hill when I get into 4th, and the front straight I can hold it to around 7400rpm or about 140kph in 3rd or I can hit 4th for a split second get a touch more speed then brake for turn 1.

if I have smaller wheels then maybe I can get into 4th earler and wind it out a bit more.

They may also help on hill climb as I seem to get stuck in second a lot and end up having to rev it right out.

would smaller wheels also help my brakes.

any ideas would be apreaciated.
