305s code 102Y, 325 code 105y. Stiffer sidewall more tread

What tire sizes, pressure cold before going on the track, ambiate air temperature? Did you heat cycle the tires before using them on the track and let them cool for 24 hours?

No plates, Ford track recommended settings

More play time, throttle up!

As you can see in the dash photo there are 1300 plus miles of track time recorded. Lap times at Pacific Raceway are between 1.3 to 1.34 minutes per and speeds are up to 158 mph into the braking zone at turn two. Speeds at The Ridge Motorsports Park aren't as high, around 130 mph but cornering is...

I'm using my tires for HPDE events 8 to 10 a year. The tires are 2 years old and have 5/32" left across the full width of the tread. Alignment is factory recommended for the track.

And, by the way, this is what the tire is capable of: 305/325 stagger

I run Cup 2's 8 months a year. Quality of ride and low noise is perfect. To those that ruin their tires I offer this, learn to FEEL when the tires get greasy and back off a little and cool the tread. The tire will last much longer.

Meanwhile, here in the NW at The Ridge Motorsports Track! 125 mph down thecoast front on my favorite Cup 2 tires. 305/325 setup

Keep us posted!

It just takes one drive and you are hooked for life!

I run 305/325 Cup2's on my car. Start cold at 34 unless really cold out or wet, then I adjust up or down accordingly. I know we have talked before at a PCA day so good luck with the new toy!

Turn 2 events, BMW track days.

Rick, many factors involved! Did you do the suggested track alignment? What size tires are you running. Are you doing HPDE events with one of our local Puget Sound clubs, Turn 2 or Don Mitch at Pacific Raceway? We have a large number of GT350/R track junkies around here and a few instructors...

Something to think about

I track my car extensively, change the oil and replace tires as needed.59 years of driving and owning without a motor loss. 4 decades of racing and teaching and love this car over a lot of great cars.

They should do this on similar tires. Yes, Randy's good but let's get a baseline!

Cup 2 tires wear quite well when not under load, breaking or cornering when warmed properly. If you treat them nice they repay you for 12k to 15k miles easily.

My car was out all last winter, no damage to tires was evident. Stock M. Super Sports. I run M. CUP 2'S in the summer, 305/325's, for track driving.

He wondered why there were 3 pedals!
