Looking for thoughts on which way to go... 30 or 32 mm for low grip, bumpy, temporary circuits... High HP (KZ)... Driver is 6'4" 230 pounds.

Conventional wisdom = 32mm but I hear rumors of some big guys having good luck with 30mm stuff from OTK

Anyone know the weight difference between the 2???

With a driver that size AND a KZ go with the 32mm. I've driven both (5'11" 180lbs). I think with your height and weight the 30 would flex too much. You will probably need to run less caster than others to keep the rear from lifting too quickly/too much.

32mm. You'll struggle to stiffen the 30 up enough to handle the weight/power.
