This is about a year after I had originally hoped to give it a shot, but I've finally gotten the MB 190E sorted enough (I hope) to bring it out for a rally-x. Looking at the October one w/ SCCA DC region. I know there's a bunch of peeps on here that are regulars there, so it will be good to meet some folks and give this thing a go.
Now, my question - when I bought the car, it had a set of mismatched 14" tires on it. Up front was a pair of el cheapo, no name touring tires (something like 175/70R-14), and a pair of similarly no-name snow tires on the rear, but even smaller (175/60R-14 I think - def smaller than the fronts). I also got a nice set of 16" MB forged wheels when I bought the car, so those are what I run now. But I was planning on swapping back to the 14s for the rally-x. My recollection is that the touring tires are of a recent-ish vintage - let's call it this decade - while the snows are from 2001 I think.
I think I can stuff the 14s in the car/trunk so I don't have to drive down/back on them. But for the rally-x, which should I put where? I'm not going to run out and get any new (or used for that matter) tires since it's my first attempt at this and the budget has been tight as of late.
I suppose I should also put the plastic belly pan back on?
