Like.I wonder if he cut that on a curb or something? Road Atlanta, and a few others are noted for that -
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Well these were 305/315 staggered so I am considering 305 square or 315 squareAlso since i need to flip tires at least i can see if the slicks fit mount them up and examine…. (see full post)

305 square and be done with it. Don't get hung up on stock tire sizes, it's costing huge amounts of money (and performance). The proper 305 will be faster and better wearing than whatever is happening now.DaveW

Gunslinger55 reacted to Junkyard Dog's post in the thread Advice on front tire wear New car with Like.It is difficult to find a staggered track tire set up to fit the Dark Horse handling package wheels. I intend to go with an aftermarket square 11" wheel set up eventually. It's just money . . . right? :)

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Stock pads are down to 5-6 mm so basically done (see full post)
Fat Boss replied to the thread Cage, Seats and Harness in my S650.How is the ride height of the seats vs stock? I sat in two S650's this weekend and the lack of headroom available is alarming since I'm 6-2 and getting a GTD. (see full post)-
Gunslinger55 reacted to Junkyard Dog's post in the thread Advice on front tire wear New car with Like.Brakes.Are you still on the stock pads?

Gunslinger55 reacted to Junkyard Dog's post in the thread Advice on front tire wear New car with Like.Yeah, I think you have at least another track day for the fronts.

FWIW, once you kill off the rest of those tires, I would do something different. Like a different brand/tire. One thing, $3k, but regardless of that something with the combo of the car, tire and your driving style is not happy.More camber no...

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.It was set to specs in the manual. I need to recheck and or reset as it looks worse so something might have changed..Tine to start cutting and modifying 😉 -2.25/-1.5 rears look pretty good (see full post)
-
Gunslinger55 reacted to Junkyard Dog's post in the thread Advice on front tire wear New car with Like.So now we know that -2.25° is not enough.What are you running for negative camber on the rear?Did you check the toe? Where is it set front and rear?
-
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Agreed just a layer of rubber peeling off (see full post)

Ya, although I'd call it a delamination, not a blister. A blister is a different thing.
JDmustang82 posted a new lap time of 1:30.401 on track configuration Full Course at track Grattan RacewayDate of Lap time:It was a cool day of only 60*F. I was running RT660+'s in 305/30/19. I used the track addicts app to record my time.
mwjscn replied to the thread What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?.The "Laguna Seca" wing is the same one from the earlier-released California Special 402A (including other to-be Boss bits like the bottom front fascia and the rear 'diffuser-style' bumper treatment) and also available on GTs as part of Accessory...

blacksheep-1 reacted to Gunslinger55's post in the thread Advice on front tire wear New car with Like.Ok thanks for the input. So the “blister” is the biggest issue. I have 2 fronts that are better than these so i can mix and match but i agree this thing ate some tires. May or may not run them but it seems like flipping them can extend service...
-
You can flip and keep running 3 of them. I don't think that would be a problem. It may act a little different than when running then the original way, but I doubt if it would be all that big of a deal. The tire missing the chunk of rubber needs...
