Andrew the info you got from hoosier is in line with peter's and my advice, except the assimetry of the outside front, something the nascar teams do.

They might know a thing or two.

Yes Chin this weekend and PCA next. I think I finally got the GPS in Race-Keeper to work so I can't wait to get some data going. This will be my real 1st attempt at Sebring in the new car..can't wait.

Moved the GPS antenna to the roof. LOL It will not work behind the glass...I tried every position.

I want to see if it will work on top of the plastic part where the windshield wipers are but I want a neat and clean install. Something I can't get done right now before these track events but will work on this December.

Oh yes it can....post a detailed pic of your rear tires....lets see how used they are. IF you are at the wear bars on R888...they are done...heat cycled out, done to the carcass rubber which wears fast and is slick...unlike RA1 or other tires.

How many track days are on them?...how much street driving have you done?

I agree.

I don't suppose it will cord all of them, but you'll likely see the right rears cords before end of the day.
