I am very interested, will they fit the 18x9 front and 18x12 rear??

007DT

I may be interested if the sizes above equate too;;;

315/30/18 R 245/40/18 F

I'm at the edge as far as room is concerned... What is the longevity?

mikymu

I don't know the size conversion from slicks to street but I seen these similar type of slicks mounted on 18" rims for GT3 w/o issue.

Here is a link to the yoko tire size and recommended rim width: http://www.bobwoodmantires.com/bwttires.php

will they work on a 997.1 GT3 with CCW 18" wheels.....if so I may be in for a few sets

How many heat cycles can we get out of them

mobonic

I have run these on my car on CCW 9*18 & 12*18 with no problem

The will work on all 997's......

the rear tire may be too tall for 996's so you may want to ask you local shop

911SLOW

example for conversion:

road tyre 235/40/18
means
235mm width
the 40 is percentage of the width of the tyre representing the tyre wall
and 18 is wheel diameter in inches
to find the full diameter of tyre and wheel
you add 18x2,54= 45,72cm plus 23,5cm x 40%= 9,4 cm for each side
45,72 + 9,4 + 9,4= 64,52 cm

slick tyre 24/64-18
24 width in cm
64 overall diameter in cm
18 wheel size



Do they offer rain slicks Mike?

Izzone

How many heat cycles do you get out of them......how much life

I will be using for DE's

mikymu

Thanks John. That helps to explain the numbers.

I am not sure if they have rain slicks. I will give them a call and let you know in a few

Cheers

Mike

I was told someone heat cycle then 15 times before replacement ... but it all depends on driver. I would guesstimate 10-15 sessions for DE and 1-2 PCA race

Let me share my experience with them last year. I was surprised how long they lasted, I was getting 15 HC's out of them and I'm not nice to tires. I raced 3-4 races with them before they fell off at all.

Shahin they're perfect for 996's as well as 997's or any other car that runs 8.5 -10" up front, and 10 to 12" in the rear.

We bought 10 sets yesterday so don't hesitiate guys. They won't last at $1,200. per set. Some other shop bought 30 sets today so beg, borrow, steal but get them now....

8 sessions, 4 fast, 2 OK, the last 2 will kill you??
ABS Ice mode??

Izzone

OK.....I will stick with old date code RA1....we need to find more at discount any leads

I'm just guessing at heat cycles, but it won't be much.
Plus it's like crack, you'll be on slick forever.

The last time I saw a GT3 try slicks he locked up all 4 and hit the guueard rail..

Izzone

One of the orbit customers was driving his 997.2 GT3 on Michelin blues at Sebring this weeknd......he still gave me the point by......as well as the 997.1 GT3 stripper on Hooters.......

What I found with slicks (Yokos) is that they probably have 10 cycles or so but then they "slow" down to R6 levels of grip for another 5 or so cycles. So, it's not so bad.

BTW, the person that hit the guardrail with the slicks didn't understand that you have to get lots of heat into the tires ASAP.
