wheels and tires section suggestion

i've seen a lot of questions asked about tire and wheel fitment on TGO, but there seems to be a lot of questions about what works best for wheels and tires with different engine set ups. thats why i'm suggesting maybe TGO could get a special catagory for wheels and tires since its such an important issue to users. it could really clear up a lot of questions people ask. wheels and tires seem to important to not have there own section.

Wheels and tires, especially "what will fit" questions, have gone in the Suspension/Chassis forum for some years now.

yes i know. suspension and chassis are closely related to wheels and tires, but there not the same. the performance of your car is ultimitely dictated by how much traction your tires have. while suspension has a huge effect on this wheels and tires are really one of the most important parts of our cars. i feel that TGO should make a section for something this important. And it would help divert the wheel and tire questions we see to a purpose made board.

Obviously they are not the same. But having a seperate forum for each individual part would be quite overkill as well as difficult to track both on our side and by members. Some members do not like too many forums to keep track of. We generally only add extra forums if there is enough "need" and good reason.

Understand that I did not rule out the idea immediately, but just stated for several years now, tires/wheels have gone in the suspension forum.

We will consider the idea and see what some of the staff has to say.

Thanks.
