If you are happy driving in the wet on SC2 then you will be no worse off driving the Conti. The Conti was developed for endurance racing to replace the RS4. It's ultimate pace will not be as fast as the Super 200tw tires like the AO52 or RT660.

If you want to drive to the track, Track Day Tires can hook you yo with Toyo R888R tires DOT 100, or Continental's new DOT 200 tires...

I have no financial interest, nor receive any consideration from Track Day Tire.

 

Give the folks at https://www.sporttows.com/ try. Maybe they could/you could modify their hidden hitch kit for the 997.2?? I love mine...

 

I really like your set up. Where did you purchase the trailer?

The problem with tire trailers is what happens if your car breaks. Then you'd not only need to tow your car, you'd have to figure out a way to get the little trailer home.

 

I wanted to follow up on my original request. I did purchase a set of the Falken RT660s and ran them this past weekend at the LSRPCA DE at MSRH.

I set my personal best time Saturday morning so found the tires to be as sticky (if not stickier) as the RE71s. Wear was good too so should be able to get another weekend out of them. I may end up having the tires remounted, depending on the next track I run. This weekend was mostly hard left turns so did have some wear on the right outside corners.

There were some other good suggestions for tires in this thread so have a few choices for this season. That said, I am very happy with the cost vs. performance of the Falkens.

I will be moving to central Florida next month so looking forward to a new set of tracks, cars and drivers!

Thanks for all the great feedback.

 

Confused. Wear was good so you might be able to get ONE more weekend out of them? Cost versus value is good when you can get a total of two weekends out of a set of tires? Honestly curious but glad you set your fast laps!

 

I have been getting about 2.5 days out of a set of RE71's. I did swap out my front LCA's with GT3 units to get 3 degrees of negative camber in the front end (also running about 3 degrees in the rear). When I had stock camber in the front I was getting just over one day on a set of RE71 fronts - Ouch!

I do believe I am seeing better wear on the Falkens but will have to validate after my next event.

 

Sure makes me appreciate my NT01 setup a heck of a lot considering after 10 weekends they still have grip.

Couldn't imagine I could afford this hobby with an added 400/day in tire costs. Wowsa. Let us know how the next weekend goes, interested if they make it through.

 

I think you will find the SE tracks as a whole are not hard on tires. I also expect you should get more life out of your RT660 based on my experience.

Not sure what all the muss and fuss is about.

You know you’re all gonna end up on Stickies/Hoosiers/Pirellis sooner or later.

Why not just go for it now? Prolonging what’s gonna happen in the future ain’t gonna fix anything now.

Go straight to the stickies. You have the Dgrobs stamp of approval. BAM!!!!

You’re welcome….

 

Purple Crack might?? make for faster lap times but they don't make you a better driver.

Yes purple crack
