PS4S will last longer than SC3 if you're exclusively street driving but on track the SC3 will outlive PS4S all else equal.

These are already in the US being sold as a Dunlop Sport Maxx Race 2 but have very limited sizes (pretty much Porsche GT3, GT3RS and GT2 sizes for now).

People need to remember that indicated speed on the speedometer and the true GPS speed are often very different when you're well into the triple digits. OEM calibrations for speedometers *ALWAYS*...

Weight becomes fairly meaningless for top speed runs- it's almost entirely down to horsepower, gearing (although gearing not so much on these cars since the power band is basically a table), drag...

I'm sure someone has a brake template for these. They should fit in the barrel of most 18" wheels but certainly not all. I believe any of the Apex ARC-8 or EC-7 18" wheels will clear the caliper but...

Thats why you install extended studs :wave:

I agree wider wheels are preferred. Would love to run 11 or 11.5 square but the inner clearance on the front is the issue. It's just not possible with...

If you decide to run a square set then your best bet is to run a set of 10j or 10.5j with an offset that fits the rear and then run a spacer up front. That way you can easily rotate any wheel/tire to...

It is safer to do an inside patch/plug but a snake plug from the outside is not "unsafe".

If you have a patch from the inside there is zero concern. I personally do not have any issues with running a even a snake plug but most people seem to be *ultra* conservative when it comes to tires....

XP10 vs XP12 on the 1LE is probably fairly meaningless since it's such a heavy and powerful car with a lot of mechanical grip- If I were going to try Carbotech/G-Loc I'd go straight to XP20 or XP24....

Are you talking about the ferodo pads I linked above? If so then yes those are the actual part numbers for the front and rear on an SS 1LE.

They don't make the supercar 3 in 285/35-19- only 285/30 and 305/30-20. In any case that's not really the issue because you can run other sizes with a shorter sidewall and smaller overall diameter....

I'm very much aware that they are asymmetrical and have a defined "inside" and "outside" orientation but I flip them regardless. They still work just fine flipped.

I agree start with rotating them first to even out the wear left to right. If the outside shoulders are taking more wear then flip them and you'll be able to squeeze a few more events out of them.
