None of them in the US as Porsche NA stopped selling it along with Techquipent bar for liability.

I do know a couple of techquipment bars for sale, one is in my car now.
Just order from Carnewal?

I'd give you a reasonable amount for them. At least half of what you paid

Getting nervous. I dont think new Nitto sizes will happen anytime soon. I have kind of thought of trying "shaved" R888's. They are garbage tires new, but I remember hearing they are not bad shaved.

Don't sweat it. They make a 315/30 that works.

Greek ran the 245/40-315/30 and had some issues on his .2 GT3. They work ok on the .1 GT3 Deputy Dog is running due to no PSM and probably different ABS electronics.

Hopefully Greek will tell us the issues he ran into but I think it was braking and maybe acceleration PSM issues out of the corner. I know he and Izzone took the car out and then Greek switched wheels with proper sizes of tires.

I think you guys are not reading Mooty's post correctly. He ran them. They're fine with PSM Off. He only had issues with PSM ON according to a previous post on here.

Mike: Tell you what, I will give you $700 for them if they don't work. Try them for a weekend. If you don't like them, I'll buy the tires.

If it works on my car it should work on Nick's car provided he has the electronics off. I don't know anything about the GTS.

So everyone is sure that the 245/40 + 315/30 works on a .1 gt3?
And I just replaced my last RA1 with R888 on the rear....

Yes, they work, but PSM has to be off. Interferes to much with it on. So with new tracks, either by extra careful, or don't run NT01.

Slightly experienced ice mode at Sebring at Turn 7. Not to bad, just adjust your braking point and you will be fine.

I just don't like it on a mental aspect. It's just to close to the ABS ratio, so it bothers me. Want to try shaved R888 and see how they hold up.

Nick,

At his stage in your life just say NO to PSM. Time to join the big boys and learn how to drive.

Peter, peter peter, oh how I miss these special moments....

I dont run PSM anymore. When you get to certain times at Sebring, its impossible to run with it on. I was referring to people who go to new tracks.

Went to Roebling last month for the first time in years. PSM saved my butt the first day. The NT01 with PSM is almost not drivable.

That was my point, looking for the best interests of the Rennlist people. I am a unselfish person, a man of the people, who pets puppies and helps old ladies cross the street....

I have a .1 and I always turn off all the nannies even on new tracks, so I guess I would be ok. Next set I guess.
