Where are you purchasing your Cup-2 take-offs? My Factory PP2 rims will accept 305's all around. Right now I have PS4s's on them for street tires. I did acquire a trailer this seson and I pulling the car to the track so non-DOT tires are fine. I actuall packed a second set of tires into my...

I guess my goal is not a specific # of days, I'm just rying to: 1) not have my tier limit my enjoyment 2) minimize my tire cost per event. I think that is a 200 ware or less will satisfy criteria #1. I like NT01's @100, Proxy R's @ 40, P1's @200 are fine and I'm sure, given the reviews, the GY...

I now have 2 track weekends on my Vitour P1"s First weekend was Watkins Glen. Temp got up to 100F both days. I thought the P1's did pretty well, 100F is pretty demanding for any tire on a heavy car. They didn't have quite the grip and composure as the Proxy RR's. Now I know that is comparing a...

My wife just asked me the same question. For the first 15 years of marriage she didn't want to know. Pre Covid I estimated it was $1500 per weekend. Here is my breakdown today for a 2-day weekend event Tow vehicle gas: $100 to $200 ( depending on destination) ( three hour drive for closest...

Here is the response I received from Vitour regarding "professional" Heat cycling: "We don't see significant benefit in professional heat cycling on P1. They still perform best with 2-3 laps of autox or road course to remove the outermost layer which the professional heat cycling services will...

I pulled off my Proxes RR's to inspect and scrape off collected marbles of rubber from the last track weekend. As I finished the last tire (Front Driver), I could see some cords exposed very slightly. Knowing what to look for I reinspected the passenger side front and did see the beginings of...

I called GoodYear customer service and she said she never heard that question is 12 years. I called Tire Rack and they said NO need. I also sent an email to Vitour, Indianapolis, we'll see what they say. I'll take them out on the street and run them around, heat them up best I can and then let...

Is there any value in paying Tire Rack $100 to heat cycle 200 treadware track tires? I've had them heat cycle Nitto NT01's (treadware 100) and Toyo Proxes RR's (Treadware 40)

What size race slicks work on the S550? It seems most are too tall.

That is interesting, all the other info i have gathered on the P1's indicate they should be long-lived as far as the 200 tread ware category. My other option is the GY F1 Supercar 3. I'll probably try the Vitour first then the GY Supercar 3 next

I have a 2019 GT PP2 I use at HPDE's, All the normal suspension upgrades. Track day wheels are BC Forged KL11's 10" up front, 10.5" rear Currently I'm running Toyo Proxy RR's, 295/30/19 (replaced in 2025 by the Proxy R's) on all 4 corners. The Toyo RR's (and R's) have a 40 treadwear rating. I...

Congrats on your sale, beautiful car! I was hoping to find a red PP2 when I bought mine but no luck for me. What's Next for you? Any vehicles on the horizon?

If you are in SE MI (or Lansing) and have an interest in using a trailer to haul your car to a track weekend, as a test or on a regular basis, please send me a PM. I have a 20 ft all aluminum open car hauler with winch. Trailer weight is 1300 lbs, as light as they come. I have race ramps if you...

The manufacturer says empty tongue weight is 200 lbs. which makes sense on a tandem axel trailer that has a total weight of 1300lbs.

I did not check empty tongue weight, I can do that next time. Thanks.
