Thanks for the advise and just to clarify my car is a 996 ex Koni car so unlike owning a Cup Im still on a tight buget!!!
Eric, Im running R6s. Actually Im using the Koni series R6s most of the time. I figure the car was set up for them by people that know a whole lot more about this than I do so I'll stick with them. Ive run regular R6s and I can tell the differance.
Agian,
Thanks to everyone for the advise!!!!

Here is my suggestion. Go race NASA next weekend at VIR. Win GTS4, and get 4 free Hoosier Wets using the Hoosier contingency
If you havent already, you should goto Hoosier's website and fill out all the required forms.

I would go with 225/45 and 245/40's Tim. I typically use the same size R6's as you. The 225/45 Hoosiers wets ($70/per when they were discounted two years ago) I bought are shockingly wide. Has to be the widest "225" ever made.

Great meeting you as well. It really would have been nice to get to run around with you some more. Are you planning on doing the NASA race next weekend?
That is what I assumed. Therefore, having Toyo/Nittos as rains serving double duty as drys really dont work anyways.

Im debating whether I want to run 200#s of ballast or get my *** kicked in GTS4. Will you be there next weekend?

Doesnt 996 Koni car make well over 300rwhp? I know when Chip Stabler used to run his E46 M3, he had to add like 300#s :P
GTS4 doesnt look too bad actually. Max is still shaking down a new car and you would just need to battle Bill Timmerman. Is Derek going to go?
