I always thought it was more for looks than function :confused: [/qb][/QUOTE]think of it like this: your rim is one surface your tire tread is another the rim floats over the tread of the tire basically held in place by the sidewall of the tire the tighter the sidewall is, the less play there is between the two surfaces causing more predictable handling hope that makes sense im not too good at explaining it [/qb][/QUOTE]something like that. if you have too much give in the sidewall and go initiate the drift, you dont want to loose a lot of the energy in the side wall of the tire. you want it to be applied directly to the ground thus making the car more predictable like stan said. this is why people wonder why competition eng. slide-a-links dont work as good as cal-tracs in drag racing!
