    GA1R's have arrived

    I did a quick check, just sitting them on a digital bathroom scale, without checking to see if the tire ought to be sitting on something to better distribute the weight, etc. I'm at work presently, but I think it was about 52.4 for the fronts, and 52.2 for the rears - ish. Again, I am not sure...

    GA1R's have arrived

    Wheels: 19x10.5 and 19x11, both in factory offsets. Tires: 285/35-19 square. They are going to have 305's available sometime in the Fall?

    GA1R's have arrived

    All Polite Reply. The 200 Tread wear rating is self imposed, and honestly is joke. I have ran Hossier A6's for a season (autocross), and they seem to be 'nearly' as soft, really, they are soft!

    GA1R's have arrived

    Correct, autocross only, and maybe local events only. If I venture beyond a reasonable range, I will either need to trailer and/or give up some grip and run the Pilot ss

    GA1R's have arrived

    I'm thinking they will be autocross only, and to your point, would like wear RAPIDLY at a track event. I think the factory Pilot SS will be the tire of choice for that. I ran my C6GS on track with the Pilot SS tires, and it may have given up a second, or so??? to Hossiers,,,, but honestly felt...

    GA1R's have arrived

    Guys,The wheels are beautiful in Gunmetal, PERIOD! There isn't a lot a real estate/material left to be removed, if any!!!!! (Darren at Forgeline was great to work with) Seriously, they are stunning examples of craftsmanship! I did an initial quick weight on the bathroom scales and they are...

    RE-71R

    I went thru 5 set of Dunlaps Star specs and the last set was the ZII, great tire. All on an S2000.The Grand Sport first year running in SSR class on Hossier A6 tires (2nd place, year end) was like Crack for its adhesion qualities, and IMHO made up for mistakes. They are so easy to drive...

    RE-71R

    Thanks guys,I have some GA1R's in correct offsets do to ship next week, and am struggling on what tire to mount, argh... At this early hour I am back to the RE-71's. :-\ I know I was giving up grip last year in the Vette running the PSS tires, but there was no other 19's available that would...

    RE-71R

    Hello and thank you.Yes, I can run the PSS tires and are familiar with them having won AS in the Steel City region last year in a C6GS. However, the PSS is a great tire, but I honestly don't think it can match the RE-71R's level of grip. Fellow competitors reported near R compound levels of...

    RE-71R

    Gents,Any body have any personal experience running these tires in a 285/35-19 for autocrossing/HPDE events. I am going to run street class AS (autocrossin) in a gt350, and there is limited sizes available, this being likely the very best in grip. Bigger sizes wont be available until...
