Good stuff. Any word on if and when A7s will be availability these sizes?

Thanks Dave, good stuff!

a little off topic, I’m running 295/30/10 345/30/19 R7 on RS

even with -3.3 camber front I corded the outer edge after 8 20 minute sessions yesterday. That’s flipping wheels side to side. Wear is good across the tire.

the rears wear great.

I have had same issues with my MSC2’s in the past. Some tracks like Barber are rough on left front. How were your tire pressures? I have prematurely corded outer edges by running my pressures on the low side. It improved bringing my hot pressures up about 3 psi in the front from 31-34.

I ran New 20” Hoosiers with a 265 fr and 335rear setup at NCM about 3 weeks ago in my.1 GT3. I was super impressed with performance. I managed a 214.1 lap my first time at NCM in the GT3. Unfortunately I don’t have any laps at NCM to compare to the MSC2’s, but several friends said that was a good lap time. I will have a chance to run them at Road Atlanta in 2 weeks and can compare lap times. I had very little rubbing of the fronts at NCM with the 265 fr setup.

Thanks

i go out 22 to get to about 32 at the end of the session.
Pressures keep climbing as I cook the tires, trying to go faster with tires going off.

so it kinda depends, out lap 22 1st lap 25 2nd lap 28 and the first flyer usually makes them 30+

Ill see if I can go higher, I maybe confusing high PSI grip drop off with fried tires.

Look forward to Road Atlanta laps.
I only took purple here once but couldn’t get comfortable on iffy tires. Need to go back...

Yes, they will be making A7's in the 20" sizes at a future date, however they have not confirmed which 20" sizes will get the A7 compound just yet.

Yeah, Hoosier has recommended to start quite a bit higher cold psi, and looking for closer to 38psi hot. I'm also a big fan of switching tires side to side, I typically will do 2 sessions, and then swap side to side for next 2 sessions.

Thanks, me too! Goes in for alignment Tuesday and I'll be running it this Saturday/Sunday!

Good to hear about the very little rubbing with the 265 front. I was unsure, so wanted to try the oem 245 Hoosier. Do you have any pics of where the rubbing occurs

Best Regards,
Dave

Let us know your alignment settings when you get it done too.....I'm curious to see how much camber is needed for the R7's - have fun this weekend!

Camber settings are max factory settings which I believe are 2.25fr and 2.5r.

I rubbed a lot more with 265 MSC’2 until I rubbed a small hole with Michelin’s. The Hoosiers hardly rub at all. Some of the decreased rub may be due to the already present wear on the inner left front fender liner created by the 265 Michelin’s

I wouldn’t drive Hoosier on the road, but it is not a slick. It is still a DOT tire.
