[Tigers] Tiger tires

Just choose with your wallet ;)

Back when the sanctioning bodies would only allow wheels that were up to (1.5
or 2?) inches wider than stock for GT racing, the tire manufacturers responded
with cantilever-sidewall slicks - so you could (or still can) get a 9"
tread-width slick designed to go on a 7" rim. The current crop of ultrawide
'street' radials don't work when their sidewalls are sucked into an
insufficiently wide tire, so you can only mount what you can find a rim for...
thankfully due to modular aluminum wheels as well as the mini-stock crowd
standardizing on the Ford bolt pattern, you can get 13 inch steel or aluminum
race wheels in whatever width you need.
