cheers PNUT...thats what I was kind of thinking,

Carrera GT

Much the same as previous 911's, I'm about 1000 miles (600 track) into the first set and they're below 50% remaining if I run them to the cords. It's hard to judge because at 1.5 neg front, I think the outside shoulders on the front took a beating. At 1.9 neg front, they seem balanced, but we'll see. They have to serve another three track days at Laguna coming up. After that, they're junk. I'll be taking a full set of spare rubber (265 fronts) just in case I need to get them swapped out. Thankfully Laguna has full trackside service because they charge top dollar for track time ... not ... so, I guess I'll be sweating it in line at the nearest "sorry, we ripped your rims up" tire shop on Saturday afternoon ...

a related question: for the new 997 RS.2, besides Michelins cups - are there suitable tyres for winter driving with similar tyre sizes ? I think there wasnt any becos the new cups+ have better tred I'm told ?

911SLOW

For winter driving you could try these but I dont know if they clear the calipers.

Or you can go Nspec oem if you like.

Mine has N1s and has done 3500 miles. A mix of roads and two track days. Fronts have 4mm tread depth left. Rears 2.5mm inside to 4 mm outside. They start off with 5mm. Not sure how low to let the rears get but still keep wet performance.

NJ-GT

2010+ GT3 RS and 2011 GT2 RS use a new sticky compound supposed to be very close to the race specs MPSC, but same mold as the N-spec being used in GTs since 2007.

For more details on this, read the two SuperTests from the 2010 GT3 and 2010 GT3 RS, including the horrible performance of the RS in their wet test compared to the 2010 GT3, which they acknowledged was related to the tires being very sticky in the dry and not so much in the wet.

I don't think they would last more than 5,000 miles with just standard street driving for the rear, and 8,000 miles for the front.

I have averaged 2623 miles for the rears on my GT3-1 for the first 44,600 miles. All street (road) driving, no track!
