a wide 15" you can still get wheelspin but it will still pull away ,with a 17 it will either bog down or smoke tyres.

If you want the best traction in the Dry use slicks. If you cant get traction then tame your right foot.

You want a tyre as wide as will fit.

u asked about whats best for Tracken speed etc etc
road use or rally use is about the tyres not about the size

so rally cars will use the best size wheels for this and use best rubber for RALLY use so u want the same size with best tyre for ROAD use

P16vlv has had his corsa 2lt 16v for about 4 years now and works for a wheel and tyre place so i think he know what he taking about....

well tyres u can get near racing cut slicks, there VERY soft, but are road legal. will not last long and cost abit aswell, bit very goot for trackon and very sticky
Ring BAT Motorsport as they also have a rally/road legal Corsa Rally car.....

i also think tyres have to be the same size all around for MOT and to make it road legal
