My tires look worse after a single session. Don’t change them, keep using them until they really look bad, here are my fronts after 3 tracks days. I would run those off your car at Road America in a heartbeat, that track is not tough on tires. I will be there Mid May
Read your original post. Glad you didn't have a major accident. Wrong time wrong place = not good. What did you mount after the goodyear’s? I’ve considered getting a 2nd setup just for track and may be the way forward. It’s a learning curve, so leaning towards safety while gaining knowledge.
I put another GY on the right rear for street driving.
Removed after ~7500 miles with 600 being on track.
Mounting fresh shortly.
I don’t see anything wear wise that is alarming.
Am I missing something?
Are you concerned about something with this set of tires? I'm not seeing the point of asking if there's anything alarming about tires that look fine.
A little feathering on the shoulders, but they certainly don't look like they've been on the track much. One track day of about 90 miles shows more wear on my car, with edge wear on the center ribs.
Accuracy. Dealer and sometimes factory alignments can be off substantially, mine was.
GT3 tire wear with a track spec alignment (or street + track spec) is a strong point, even and predictable. If you're practicing good habits as far as track day tire protocols and still experiencing chunking and irregular wear, it's worth a look.
I guess I'm feeling good about the overall condition of MPSC2's, current alignment and target track pressures. I read a lot on here about heat cycling out and performance falling off; not sure if that is indicative of tread wear or not. I was thinking "not". First event on the calendar this year is Road America and really did what to run there 3 days double stinting the RS, so new tires it is.
you thought correctly - I suspect that with 51 & 52 '18s the fronts will have "hockey pucked" the rears seem newer - but those pictures do not indicate any significant track usage IMO they show none of the signs of high temp operation with high g's ...
Sorry if this sounds condescending, but if those numbers are real, why are you even running Cup 2 shoes? I drove my 488 on mountain roads today on a cold day, and I lost an entire mm during 400 km of road driving. Mind you, I'm actually running the 991 GT3 set, so there is that basis of comparison.
My point is that if that's your wear from thar useage, then you ARE running the wrong tyre. Get a set of MPS4S. You'll be a lot happier. But wait until those are worn down...

There are zero signs of high temp. No marble pattern, no chunks missing. Good shape, ready to go.

Have to agree. Those tires look like street worn tires, no sign of track use/abuse at all
I think the MPSC2’s wore well. Didn’t abuse them. But logged all the track data. Looking forward to getting back out.
First time to Mid Ohio, met the gentlemen in the GT4 that shared the video, minus the time stuck behind the 944, was a nice lap by my son. We double stinted the RS for 2 days running back to back sessions.
