I tried hot pressures from 32-42psi. 38-40psi felt the best. Seems high, but I had a few people that run the Trofeo R’s confirm they like higher pressures. The tires tramlined no matter what pressure I ran them, and I actually run a tiny bit toe in since it’s mostly a street car for me.
Wear was pretty even, but it looks like I could go with a little more negative camber in the front. Will probably move to -3.0 from -2.75.
They don’t make 265/30 & 295/30 in the other tires I mentioned. Also, my car is still relatively soft with the Dinan coilovers and the sidewall stiffness of the 30’s didn’t match the spring rate of my suspension, so felt a bit disconnected. Super quick turn in with the springs catching up... So, 35s may be a better setup for me.
Lasty, I would trim the rear bumper/fender tab. It looked like to me it’d rub the tire under compression.
