Subject: Re: Tires for a RR newbie by SpectatorRacing on 2008/8/13 18:42:50 Do you have two sets of rims already? Two different street compounds will make little difference. Two different R compounds may. However, at a beginner level, you will be so far away from the limits that I doubt you'll notice. Also, resist the urge to over-tire a car. Everyone who races a vette seems to think that you need 315's or 335's on all fours. It takes a lot of HP and a lot of car to need that. YOu just end up with cold tires at the end of a session. I run 275's on all 4. Occasionally I switch to 315's in the rear. I usually run the same laptimes, although it's more work with the 275's. Team mate won that NASA National championship on 275's square last year, as well. My suggestion is always to buy some scrub R tires. they're cheap as hell ($50 - 75 a tire) and will last a newb for many events. |
