For example going through turn 1 at Road A , a fast ( 90mph) right hand sweeper uphill with positive camber, created tire contact....whereas the same set up at Sebring is fine. I just like the 265/35/18 set up....lots of tire options and easy set up. I am also not a fan of the SC2 tires.
You probably have the wrong wheel offset, too tall a profile or you're lowered. I fit 285/30/18 R6's with no issues. The R7's are a bit wider than the old R6.
