Will do. Really hoping the Pirellis work well. Road Atlanta can be really hard on tires, will be a good test.

None of them matched up with what Hoosier says on the website. The thread linked by 2010REDSS is very informative showing the 315 a bit wider than the 305 (as it should be) but the 325 R7 smaller (which it should not be). That's why I think 345's will be the way to go in the rear.
Yep, I was surprised the 325's were narrower than the Goodyears. The 345's would work in the rear.

Using track recommended alignment for all settings.

I have 4 Pirelli scrubs, 315/705/18 in the garage that I've never used. You want them, bring me a couple 4 packs of NE DIPA and I'll save you $600. I won't be using them.

In person. No shipping.
Thanks for the note on hot pressure.... appreciated. The Hoosiers run higher pressures than that, and I was going to have to experiment with psi for the Pirellis. I'll use 30psi hot as a starting point and see how it goes. Do they get greasy higher than 30? My FFR GTM was only a 2,400lb car so I knew the Camaro would need higher hot pressures.
