GTA Moving to Yokohama Spec Tires

Rules for next year just announced. Limited class cars will have to run Yokohama Advan A052. It may make things really difficult for us but it was a necessary growth step for the series, so I get it. We’ll figure things out.

I don’t expect them to have any decent width 15″ tire through 2020. By the time 2021 rolls around, maybe.

Also, realistically I don’t think we can hope for wider than 245. We can (and have) told them they should go wider, but it’s a different culture and mentality with Japanese brands. We can’t get Enkei to make a 15×9 for crying out loud. They will look to what currently exists and is successful, I don’t think they’ll pioneer a new size.
