Hello! Hoping to get some info from folks who have been running R7's on their ZLE's. I will be using them for the first time this coming weekend and have no previous experience on DOT slicks.

- What pressures folks have had the most success with (cold & hot). I've seen Hoosier's recommended chart, but that doesn't always translate over as gospel in reality.
- How long are you finding it takes them to get up to temp? More or less time than 3R's? I recognize a big part of this will depend on conditions.
- I'm running 315/345 on 19's. If you did as well, did you have to run spacers up front or deal with any rub issues?
- Feedback from the tire: In the lap video below, the 3R's are talking to me out loud and I'm curious what to expect in that department from the R7's.
- Any other general tips/tricks with these?

Thanks in advance!

-Matt

The event was an SCCA regional Time Trial, and I ended up being quick enough on the 3R's to win the overall without having to use the R7's so I left them in the bags for another time. I figured saving those heat cycles was easier on my wallet in the long run

Well this was the first weekend at COTA that I have run slicks as well. The Pirellis I had which were 305 660 18 SQUARE seemed to like about 28 pounds COLD PSI. They also liked alot of negative camber I was running -3.6 degrees on the front and just around -2.0 on the rear.
