Also, I did land in the gravel at turn 1 (I was getting sporadic braking for the first couple sessions, guessing it was the PFC's trying to remove all the RS29 material from the discs), and bead blasted my 19" OEM rear wheels by trying to get out of the gravel.
So, I could turn those into track wheels, but I'm guessing you still recommend the 18s over the 19s? |
I have about 15 track days on my car...have tested stock wheels and different tires then Tire Rack 18s with several 265/275 square options. The TR wheels are a great/cheap option for track. The RE71r tires in 265 square are perfect...won't need spacers ( I still used a 10mm), can drive to the track, work in wet and dry, plus good pricing. |
Yeah. I agree. I don't need it to be the fastest, just reasonably fast and more importantly, durable. I don't get the folks running Hoosiers for HPDEs.
The TR setup with the RE71r is great. The only one I would consider instead is the Apex 18x10, but I was unsure of fit at the time.
