I think sport 2 is fine to use, just be careful with those R tires on your first lap, especially the first 3 corners or so, they are slippery.

almost learned that the hard way trailbraking too deep on an outlap with a cayman on my ass lol. i now wait almost two full laps until the display shows 'warm' before i hang it out.

I think you're better off keeping with standard 200TW tires for now. 1) They're cheaper 2) they last 1.5-2x longer and 3) they're better matched for the stock pads.

Hey! good point. these 3Rs came with the used wheels i got with a day or two on them already, so figured i burn them up early and look at something longer wearing after. definitely nowhere close to exploiting them fully but they're not wearing too bad at least at my pace.
was gonna give the conti ECF a try in 295/315-19, and keep stock tire OD spread, but i could go 295/30 305/30 SC3. the grassroots tire chart claims ECFs wear and deal with heat a little better, but might be slower than SC3?
also running EBC SR11 pads now F&R and the initial torque curve is pretty insane compared to stock. still getting used to that too..
Thanks for the input!
