ideal diameter and width for hillclimb / solo

dont even worry about stock tire diameter, its totally irrelevant. figure out what tire you want to run, then go from there.

if you need it, there are gearing calculators online somewhere to show you speed in each gear at whatever rpm and all that. if you just want a short tire, then find the shortest/widest tire you can and go from there. most likely gonna find better sizes in 15" (16's really arent popular for anything other than bias ply slicks)
