How much for 18" 275 and 335

4forme

Let me know how many of each you would like.

TraqGear

275 35 18 or 245 35 18 ?

Jamie_GT3

probably 2 sets...
Yup, looking to go wider in the front, playing with 265 and 275 right now... Currently at 245 and 305 in Nitto's so 275/335 is the same differential just more of it!

Picked up a set of 245/335 via performancetread...shoudl have checked this thread first. Anyhow, what are the best hot tire pressure for R6s? How many heat cycles before they fall off?

36-38 hot. Great for 8-10 hc's tails off by 15hc's and 20 hc's it's car control. U can rotate and flip to make it last longer. Mike

Let me know when you're ready for more sets.

I like 35-36psi hot. I find 37+ too high for my setup. Others generally like 34-39psi hot. R6's last 16-22 heat cycles on average. They start fading at 8-10HC depending on driving style. I generally take them off at 16HC.

next time run 255 front.
6 hc good
after that soso
10hc, not fun anymore
but great for car control

and 4forme has the best price bar none

do you heat cycle your hoosiers when new? Seems a pain in the ***, and no way I can get them hot on the street, not and keep my license

TRAKCAR

Use RA1's don't heat cycle out much compared to R6.
They are first T1 lap1, just cheat and line up in front and try to run away fast enough from the crowd to stay in front to the end of the session when the RA1's give op, unless its cold than they don't give up

usctrojanGT3

I have to get R6s if I want to get close to Lar's lap times at Thunderhill and Buttonwillow.

TRAKCAR

Yup, practice on the cheap stuff and bully with the fast stuff..

Red Bear

Never made it past 10 to 12 HC before R 6's were completely shredded...glad I made the switch to Pirelli DH slicks which reduced my tire bill by 50% and going much faster.

usctrojanGT3

Where do you buy those Pirello DH slicks? What are the sizes that you run (since the sizing is different)?

4forme

2 laps to get temps up and scrub off the release agent when new then drive 10/10ths
