How's the wear with -3.0?
I'm sure will be better, have not run that setting at Buttonwillow yet, but SC2s wore more on the front outsides at ACS Roval for sure at max stock -1.5.

@67GTA has.Has anyone tried the Continental Extreme Contact Force yet? Was thinking this might be a good non-slick option. Some light street use and as a wet track tire or when slicks don't make sense. No 305s though....
Reached out for comments. Thanks for the contact.
Here’s the write up I did after my first time running then last summer in the heat. I’ve ran them 2 more times since at ACS and my impressions have stayed largely the same - really good wear rate, very consistent on long sessions, handling is on the neutral range of the spectrum and pace is slightly off the faster 200tw tires. @SMGDHG just went Sub 2 at Buttonwillow in his 3V Bullitt. He has a lot of seat time on a variety of tires and I’m sure would give you his thoughts as well.Reached out for comments. Thanks for the contact.
Many thanks! That really helps.Here’s the write up I did after my first time running then last summer in the heat.

What sizes are you using? Can a 325 width fit the back wheel wells?Has anyone tried the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect with a 240 treadwear rating? In 305/30/19, the OE PSC2 is $2022 installed at Costco and the PSC2 Connect (240) is $1890.
I can also get the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R for $1198 installed. I know those wear fast (100 treadwear rating) but at two-thirds the price that's probably the way to go?
I have ECFs on all 4 corners...315s square. It's a bit looser/duller on turn in than the MSC2s, but as I did not heat cycle the tire, I am hoping for a bit more traction on their second use (@ COTA). I am convinced the Goodyear F1 3R will be my next tire to see if I can shave time off my PBs with MSC2. These ECFs will likely end up 1-2 secs slower (depending on track) than the MSC2s, but will likely have less fall-off after a few laps of 9-10/10ths.Has anyone tried the Continental Extreme Contact Force yet?

What sizes are you using?F1 3r are way better…..i run them on my 350 and with a proper alignment they last longer
What ya meanWhat sizes are you using?
What tire widths?What ya mean
I run 305 all around. When Apex used my car for press photos on their EC7 and VS-5RS they put 325s on the back. I think they would fit with rolling the fenders and camber. The poke looked excessive to me with stock camber.What sizes are you using? Can a 325 width fit the back wheel wells?
Maboomba,
I know folks running the 325s on the rear, but they do seem to have some issues with the fitment up front. Like you I am looking at going with 305s ( square ) for my next set. I currently am running Hoosier R7 315/30/19s and they work fine, but the $2500 cost has me looking around. I know the Cups are decently quick ( I seem to run about 1-1.5 seconds slower on them than the R7s ) and am hoping the Goodyear 3Rs will be real close to the Hoosiers. The only question, will be, is can a 305 Goodyear stay up with an R7 Hoosier. At half the price ( with a USAA discount ) I am willing to try!
This is the slick tire right ? I think they are available in 305/19 ?hankook f200’s really surprised me too
YesThis is the slick tire right ? I think they are available in 305/19 ?
They will run very very similar times once you get the hang of pressures. I think the 3R heat cycles out a bit quicker so for example, the first 8-10 cycles should be very comparable to the R7, but the next 4-however long you run them will slow down a bit, up to 1 second off the earlier pace. I don't feel like the R7 has that much drop off in HPDE scenarios, but maybe they do.hoping the Goodyear 3Rs will be real close to the Hoosiers.
