Trying out michelin slicks on my 997 gt2 for the first time in an upcoming time attack track event. I would like to know if anyone had ever tried michelin slicks before and what things should i look for/change in terms of alignment, compression rebound etc.

I usually run the below settings on hoosier r6:
Fr Rr
Camber -3.0 -3.0
Toe -0.07 per side -0.14 per side

Should i stick to the same settings or should i change them ?
I'm running 997.2 cup tires N2. The car has ohlins 2 way suspension.

Thanks

Current setup should be fine, enjoy!
I prefer the Hoosier for longevity, Michelin has turned into very quick tire but disappears on you after 20-30 minutes into front push.
Pirelli is the best currently with good grip, longevity and will come back to you if you ease up a bit after you overcook them....

Do you have an idea what pressures both hot and cold should i aim for ?

thanks

To start look for 30-32 psi hot. Use your TIRE PYROMETER to set the actual pressures. Record your data. Set your suspension according to how the car handles after several sessions, recording data after each session. Try to replicate each session so you can be more precise with your setting.

Rear toe should be + not -. Probably a miss-type but wouldn't hurt to double check. I would add more negative camber to the front but just my opinion. Be careful with rear side wall size. The 680 rear might not have clearance with the fender well and the shorter 650 is not recommended on the rear of a 911. Especially a relatively heavy and high power gt2.
