Follow on from the Daddybox discussions regarding tyres. I've primarily created this post so I can attatch my wonderfully basic spreadsheet and be able to access it at home (damn work PCs!!). I will periodically update the spreadsheet to reflect any testing I've done. Essentially I believe a thinner tyre wall may benefit in terms of acceleration and/or top speed. I did a bit of testing about 6-9 months ago and whilst it was inconclusive, I noticed that a thicker tyre wall (in this case off roads) was slower than a thinner one (high ends) in terms of a point to point drag race. A lot of the results didn't make sense, i.e. tuners, muscle and lowriders despite having the same tyre wall thickness did not behave to my expectations. Albeit this was rushed and basic level experimentation. I propose testing for the moment on one car with the tyres can clip flag (in this instance i'll use the OG Jester) and one without (I'll use the OG Elegy). Whilst the both cars have the same top speed. We're interested in the difference (if any regarding tyres and not the individual cars) and For acceleration neither car will be comparable.

In my spare time, I might do similar testing (top speed/acceleration), as well as track testing. Due to my time being limited, I'll only touch offroads, tuners, and high-ends. I'll probably use the OG Jester (normal), 9F, and RE-7B (since racecars and downforce multipliers are still up in the air).
I think I might use a normal flat straight, a bumpy straight for curb boosting, a flat track (airport) and a bumpy track (most likely a stunt recreation CCGP). I'll do everything in a stunt race so it'll all be comparable, even if there are significant differences between normal and stunt races.

Well I've created a near carbon copy of Broughy's top speed testing track. I'll link it here for anyone who wishes to use it. link
Just in case anyone was wondering, like Broughy's track the distance between checkpoints one and two is 0.2 miles.

Spreadsheet removed due to me being retarded and making an error in calculations. Re-uploading later <HERE>
