You can go really tiny on a mardave especially if you fit the front wishbones to the chassis directly and not the camber plate thingy.

Currently have 44mm rear and 43mm front on my car with 4mm ride height all round. Have a ride height spacer on the front so could let them wear more and still maintain height.

They do generate a lot less grip when they are smaller though so there does come a point where you need to get back to bigger tyres to generate the grip if you run without additive like I do.

The great thing is that they started at 48 rear, 46 front so you can get loads of races out of the tyres on a mardave.
