Was that when one of the Miatas lost his driver's rear wheel on the track?Just some Miatas battling it out and others! No video unfortunately thanks to technical BS. Overall, it was a great group. Everyone spaced out nicely throughout the day.
That was the 4th session, I just got a 1:42 out of that session. The poor Miatas demanding a full course black flag worked for me as I needed gas bad, haha.Was that when one of the Miatas lost his driver's rear wheel on the track?
Well that’s not good news. I am not trying to pay $1300 for one day of great performance. We’ll see how long they last me… the Cup 2 FP spec lasted 5 days.For some reason it seems like I only got 1 good day out of the goodyears. They just kept slipping after the first session. I'm thinking of R7's for Sonoma in August.
Yeah... Your mileage may vary - hopefully for the better! Cups lasted me about that long as well.Well that’s not good news. I am not trying to pay $1300 for one day of great performance. We’ll see how long they last me… the Cup 2 FP spec lasted 5 days.
I would add...a great alternative could be a supercar3 Tire. They are good with good wearing and consistency.Ryan are you rotating the Goodyears often, as just curious, since it seems there is a pretty big discrepancy with what some drivers are getting for wear compared to others. Not suggesting anything, just wondering, since I know at one track I run the decent wear on one guy's car is indicative of the smooth asphalt and his constant movement of the tires from one side to the other.
Good point. I can only rotate side to side with my wheels, and I did that from the first day to the second. I did drive the car home on the tires after the first track day.Ryan are you rotating the Goodyears often, as just curious, since it seems there is a pretty big discrepancy with what some drivers are getting for wear compared to others.

I was getting up to 39 hot with the 3R's. I was shooting for 32 given that seemed to work with the cup 2's. On my 3rd session they were 39 psi hot and measured 15°F hotter on the inside of the tire vs the middle and outside. Seems like they grow more than cup 2's?I would add...a great alternative could be a supercar3 Tire. They are good with good wearing and consistency.
3R last 3 days. And what psi are you running hot?
32 hot is what you wantGood point. I can only rotate side to side with my wheels, and I did that from the first day to the second. I did drive the car home on the tires after the first track day.

I was there as well and had another guy w/ a GT350R tell me that he's only gonna get one day out of the Super 3R's. I was interested in getting them but I think I'll stick w/ the Cup 2's. Specifically the ones made in the US and not France. I have them both and they have different treads.That was the 4th session, I just got a 1:42 out of that session.

Now they've got US vs France? Awh man, talk about most complicated tire ever.I was there as well and had another guy w/ a GT350R tell me that he's only gonna get one day out of the Super 3R's.

What are you going out on them cold? I usually run 25 cold and I end up around 33 which seems just about right for 3R.Good point. I can only rotate side to side with my wheels, and I did that from the first day to the second. I did drive the car home on the tires after the first track day.

I started with 26 cold in the morning. Ended at 32. I tried adjusting with the heat throughout the day to stay at 32 hot, but it seemed to keep rising more then expected. Came off with 39- lowered to 32 when they were hot etc. I think I just need to pay better attention to the tires as previously stated. I usually use 2-3 laps to warm up and get settled in before going for it.What are you going out on them cold? I usually run 25 cold and I end up around 33 which seems just about right for 3R.
Thanks. Might try for teens with some slicks. We’ll see. Love Road America!Chez-whiz..............that is one fast lap and I hope someone got you some beer and a brat after that run. I have friends with fast Vettes and other beasts who have not gotten that kind of time. You should be pleased?!
