Post Euro Cup Slicks

Now that there have been a few Club Races under the new guide lines, what size/brand slicks are being put on the 964 Euro Cups in GTC-1?

G, - I think you can choose what ever brand.
Michelin's are the best ( I would bet, hard to get, but can be gotten) Then Dunlops, however they are $$pricey$$, then Pirelli. Typically, fronts are 245/645-18 and rears are 265/645-18.
Sasco handles the Dunlops, 434-822-7200, Vision motor sports handles Pirelli, 949-770-2888.
I plan on running the Pirelli's @ Mid ohio. Have run the Dunlops at RA. Goodyear & Yoko's I do not think make a tire that fits.

Good Luck

Yoko's do have a slick that fits, but I haven't heard any feedback on how they handle. They're actually a little more $ than Pirelli's.

I went back to the Club Race website and saw that only 2 cars have run in GTC-1 so far this year.

Will the 245/645/18's fit the front without rolling the lip?

Thanks

Michelin Pilot SX, the factory tire is available in 'correct' sizes; 24/64R18 front and 27/68R18 rear directly from Michelin in the Porsche compounds (softer front than rear). You can call Michelin customer service at 1-800-722-3234 for info and ordering.
