Not sure what i want but this keeps coming up so i might try them. In anycase none will last very long so you won’t be stuck with them forever lol but im a buy the best you can afford guy so like
I mentioned saving a couple hundred bucks is not my primary concern. I’ve bought of tire rack before is that the “best” place to get them? Thanks gonna pull the trofeos off tomorrow and do an inspection i’ll post some pics
If i go 18” i can run the P zero slick takeoff like the rest of the club does they are pretty awesome and the price? ridiculous

As suggested if you have the 15 inch rotors and big boy Brembos you may be stuck with 19s , which with this year seeing alot of new tires with wider sizing , not a bad deal.
They don't come in 19" unfortunately. Michelins, Pirellis, and all of the other major slick makers are all 18"

Actually that is incorrect as the Mustang Challenge runs a 19 inch Michelin slick, but Junkyard is correct that there the bulk of used racing tires are in 18s. The Ferrari Challenge runs a 19 in the rear , but these are big mothers. I would imagine we will be seeing more sizes in the future , but not at the present time.
I’m pretty certain the Mustang Challenge moved on from 19’s to 18’s after their inaugural year. I’m about to test some 315 30 18 Yokohama A052s at NCCAR this weekend..first time in the car. I purchased them as a cold transport and cold session tire. Also they’re likely more progressive option to acclimate on. I’ll report back with more thoughts.
Multiple posts on this forum with experience (steveespo and one other) said it is no better than and possibly worse than a standard 200 tw tire, which is why I did not mention them. They did not like that tire at all.
They did, but you can still find new in stock at a few suppliers. I passed on them after reading the comments here.

My bad , I just knew they were available at Trackdaytire.com for only 365 bucks -- 295 width.
Yeah, I saw that! That is why I asked about them here on the forum. I thought, "What a deal!"
My buddy says they have 19’s just in weird sizes he’s going to grab a set and see if they can fit. Hoping they will
Right front. 16 sessions and 1100 total miles. I know needs more camber. Looks like i could get another half to one day out of them. Does this bolt on factory strut adjust camber? Should be a splined bolt and slot correct?

Clean all the clagg off the tires and rock and roll for another session.
Remind me what your current camber setting is?
Out of the DH manual -2.25 front -1.5 rear
One. front has a slight cut probably from some debris on track. Holds air fine when should I get worried about a slice? pic of left front. impressive factory ducting to brakes and oil cooler. Vorshlag deflectors right behind the ducts
Also 9mm pads thickness left all around on the fronts. Any idea on what they started at? More than 10mm all around in the real. Very even pad wear
Thanks that’s what i’m gonna do if that cut is safe. See how long they will last till cord on edge
Rears look pretty good
