sjfehr and burglar, start your engines -- 265s to be allowed in STU
From the August Fastrack:
I expect you both to have ST build threads started by this time next week. 
The STAC and SEB recommend an allowance for 265 wide tires on STU 2WD mid and rear-engine cars.
Change Section 14.3 as follows:
“Tires shall have a section width up to and including the following (mm):
STR (2WD),STU (2WD, mid-engine, rearengine).................................................................255
STH (2WD), STX (2WD), STU (AWD), STU (2WD, mid-engine, rearengine).............................265

STR (2WD),
STH (2WD), STX (2WD), STU (AWD), STU (2WD, mid-engine, rearengine).............................265

That wasn't my letter about tires in ST, mine got the "thanks for your input" response at the bottom. 
My AS-legal Boxster S remains illegal in any ST class, which just seems completely absurd. There needs to be a prep progression for every car; why is SCCA dragging their feed so long about creating new ST categories where faster cars don't need to be handicapped by BoP restrictions?
Allowing Porsches to run OEM tires is at least an improvement on the status quo, though.

If you’re in AS your in STU, no?
Can the STU ruleset make one of these cars consintently faster than a GT4?

I think the boost buggies still have an advantage low speed pin turn to pin turn courses, and a C5 or Z has an advantage at a high speed, all sweeper roadcourse type deal.
There's two other cars that I think would also wreck house in STU if built...

This is completely anecdotal and not even directly correlatable, but I did a lot of work and spent a lot of money to fit 255s on 9s in the front of my STR 911. The car is faster on its 225/255 staggered setup.
A Cayman is a lot better than 40:60 though so who knows.
