Thanks, Greg and Bob. I have a set of 235/295 MPSC's in the garage and was hoping I hadn't made the wrong rear tire choice.
Bob, I usually run my rear MPSC pressures one lb higher than the rear. What does the four lb difference do?

Go to the specs portion and you will see the 265 has a 35 aspect ratio and the 285 and 295 have a 30. Overall diameter is a tenth of an inch smaller for the 285.

Do you mean 32/36 F/R hot? What do you start with cold? I've been trying to get 34-36 hot, and start, depending on the ambient temp, in the low 30s cold.

Thanks. I keep a log of all of those things, and have been using 34/36 hot, but have tried everything from 32 to 40. I'm always curious to find out what other people are using, and will try 32/36 to see how I like it. I use 235/285, but am about to change set up...springs, shocks,camber, etc. I am also about to get a nitrogen tank, and am debating whether to use it just to top off (light tank, no stabilization advantage) OR A BIG HEAVY TANK. Can't wait to see the differences.

Rick, I'm considering the RA1s in the sizes you have formy '95 993. Can you provide the wheel widths and o/s that you have and where your clearance issues are?
My track wheels are 8 & 10 x18 MY'01 996 5 spokers

Hi Bill
Sorry for the delay in getting a response to you; I was under the car most of yesterday.
I have Forgeline WC3 8/10x18 with 245/40 and 275/35 shaved Toyo RA1s. Clearance is fine on the back, some very slight rub on fronts (against the lip) only apparent on the street, not on the track (according to previuos owner; my first track day is tis Friday).
I don't know the offsets unfortunately.
Hope this helps.
