Bill Pemberton replied to the thread S650 2025 Dark Horse HP 6-speed.My bad Junkyard, forgot that they run Trofeo RSs, but I like his idea running the Falkens and when they wear out he can get some of the faster 200 TWR rubber and spend $1000 less than those Pirellis.

TheTed replied to the thread S650 2025 Dark Horse HP 6-speed.The Trofeos didn't last long, and when I did the math on them it came out to something around $700/hour.
