Default Fikse 13s on 997S at WGI

Here are a few photos of 601 in action... Many asked to see the Fikse Profil 13s on the car and here you go...

RA1s were very touchy to pressure - a few lbs over 40 and they gave out without warning. 2nd day AM cold showed 26.5 driver's left, 28 other 3 corners for 40 hot x 4. Much higher level of focus required for RA1s over oem PS2s or PSCs that were on my M3.

Alas no, will be away... Ted had a great time at WGI this week and got a sign-off for Yellow. Trying to see if we can get him another DE before heading off to college.

Ron, beautiful color and awesome wheels! Do you have any close up photos of your car with these wheels....it's hard to see from the shadows and distance.

Just got back from Sebring and got promoted to solo. My Michelin PS2's are wearing out!

That's all I have for photos... They have some great close-ups (pro) on the Fikse site... When you switch over from PS2s to R-comps, you aren't going to notice much of a difference -- PS2s are that good.

I am very impressed in my short time at track days with my PS2's. I have really learned there feel. 18" wheels and some PS2's might be the ticket because 18" tires are easy to find and less money correct. This week am I going to start really looking into this for the next month and see what I can find.
