I am looking at my next choice for a track tire. So far I have run Michelin Pilot Super Sports and Sport Cup 2's. I feel like I am at the limits for traction with both of these that I run at my frequent track (BIR). I have read several posts for choices from Hankook, Goodyear, Conti's and the like. Is a Hoosier R7 slick the next option for me?
In addition a few questions:
I have a couple sets of Apex 19 X 10 wheels and my ideal tire size is 305/35R19. I would prefer not to run a smaller diameter tire size.
Will a 315/35R19 fit well on a 19 X 10 wheel or do I need to go a 11 inch wheel?
Is the 295/35R19 too narrow for the S197 weight and traction needs?
Is a 18 inch wheel a better option for tires? I have the Brembo 6 piston caliper and the 15 inch rotors up front so I would need to verify a set of Apex wheels would clear.
All comments and opinions welcome.
