I'm currently training for a tri and when swimming length after length my mind often drifts to my MGF and as a result questions arise...this was what cropped into my head at 6.15 this morning !!
We all (or most of us) change a throttle bottle here or a larger air pipe there just to squeeze out a little more BHP or throttle response.
I was wondering whether the following would make an iota of difference to performance, not handling, just straight line grunt:
Wheel size
Tyre size
Tyre type/brand
Tyre tread (wear)
Tyre inflation PSI
My gut feeling is that the only aspect that may make a difference is if they are under inflated and if this is true, perhaps this is where we should be paying closer attention...
