Thumbs up Can you mix GT2 wheels and Turbo wheels on the track?

Can I run GT2 front wheels (8.5inch) with regular Turbo Twists rear wheels (11inch) for a one day track event in the rain?

I would run my GT2 rear wheels (12inch) but there's a 70% chance of rain this saturday and i'll be at NJMP Lighting with my rear tires swap (the tread will be facing the wrong way). I was wearing down the inside more than the outside tread for my PZero neros (the inside tread was to the wear marker) and I had my wheel guy flip it for me so I can do this last track event before I toss the tires.

If i run the Turbo twists rear, they would be Michelin Pilot Sport tires.

What do you guys think? Will I kill myself with this setup i the rain? Anybody else try this before?

Don't worry, be happy. As long as the tires are all close in real rolling diameter,
you'll be fine.

Yes, those are similar enough that you should be just fine.
