Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Trackday tire decision.One additional factor is that with wheels, you can ditch your staggered 10/10.5 for 11" all the way around and rotate the tires, perhaps getting another track day or more out of the same set of tires.Goodyear Supercar F1 3R in 305/30R19 are 458...

That is certainly one option. Economically, that is an 8 to 10 year payback but makes tire management much easier.

mavisky replied to the thread Who Is Tracking Their S550 GT500? I'm Looking For Someone Fast & Knows The Mods Inside And Out.Your best bet is to just copy the basics of the track pack cars then. Get the track pack specific rear springs, handling pack/track pack camber plates or an aftermarket equivalent, move to a square wheel and tire setup with the 315 cup 2's at all... (see full post)
steveespo replied to the thread Who Is Tracking Their S550 GT500? I'm Looking For Someone Fast & Knows The Mods Inside And Out.Guys at Middleton Motorsports are the folks you want to speak with about GT500 track day mods. For rubber I would look at the Hoosier R8. They make a 305 and a 335 in 20" You will get between 10-15 good fast cycles. (see full post)-

Like.Ran across Cole Loftsgard a few times over the years out West, great driver, great guy. - stevbd reacted to Dave_W's post in the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach? with Like.I believe SR Performance is American Muscle's in-house private label Chinese garbage shocks. As Nancy Reagan said, Just Say No.Koni Sport (aka Yellow) shocks are good for the price. When adjusting, don't leave them at the end of the range or...

Just me throwing down some fast laps at a track days. I'll be picking up a second set of wheels (OEM sizes) with more aggressive rubber. What rubber? No idea. Something more aggressive than the 4S's on it now. But not so... (see full post)-

R-tires or 200tw? My build is focused for TT style hot laps (really limited by the tires) but has been reliable, drivable and fast in its mod stages.

TMSBOSS reacted to JDee's post in the thread S197 Anti Squat Numbers/ Theory/ Real World Results/ Etc with Like.My suggestion would be to stop playing games on the street and take it to a track.
