they alter the mph per 1k rev.
i noticed that mine wont go as fast on 17's they are a lot heavier than 13's. if your engine is powerful enough to spins them at that speed then in theory you should go quicker, but in practice no. plus if adams car says 100 on 13's then its more than likey its actually doing 85, daniels saying 96 is probably going faster than adams is. as he has a lot bigger wheels.
