tire and weal size

Hi what size of tire and weal do you all use on your BEC’s. I am asking as I am wondering what size of front cycle wings I should get.

Not sure we use those at all on BECs

Soz, seriously, most people tend to use 13" wheels and either 185/60 or 205/60 tyres, although if you are just running it on the road then maybe 14" or 15" might be slightly better for gearing, something like a 195/50-15" tyre would be about right Id imagine.
The advantage with 13" rims is that you can get ultra-sticky tyres for them (Yoko A032s or Avon ACB10s) which are ideal for track days. You can get get 032s in larger diameters but they get very expensive.

Using 15" wheels, 6" rim for front running 185/55 and 7" rim for rear running 205/50.

<--- Not the ones shown in this picture though.
