I appreciate the thoughts, but it was the outside tire, and I experienced no such issues with the 3R. So my question still stands for anyone who has track experience with BOTH of these tires.
And my original questions was this:
"I'm curious if there is anyone else out there who has used both of these tires (Goodyear Supercar 3R and Kuhmo 730) for HPDE, and what their experiences and/or observations are?"
I'd still be curious if there is anyone with HPDE experience, using BOTH of...
I have a analog oil temp gauge installed as well. It does show the actual oil temp slightly lower than the inferred temp (e.g., 265 vs 280), but it's still a little high for extended running. I can't say I noticed any drop in oil pressure with the Mishi cooler. I use Track Addict for my data...
I think the Mishi oil cooler is too small to have any material impact on oil temp, at the track. I put mine up front, ducted around it, exhausting into the wheel well. Doesn't do much. A fan may help.
No threads yet, but I can't really tell how much rubber is left on the inside edges of the other three. Again, it's a square setup, so I rotate them after each event. The tire showing threads was the most heavily loaded at the last event. I suspect whatever tire I would put in the front left...
Threads are showing at several spots on the inside shoulder, that is just the largest spot. Might be toe, although I assume that would also cause similar wear on my street tires, which I am not seeing.
I purchased a set of Kuhmo 730s to replace Supercar 3Rs on my track wheels. Nothing changed with my setup, other than the tires. I run a 305 square setup, and rotate after each event. I assumed that I would be giving up a little bit of grip, going from the 100 treadwear 3Rs to the 200...
If by "tracking" you mean HPDE/road course stuff, you may want to reconsider. All Mustangs, aside from Shelbys and Mach 1s, need all the help they can get keeping the engine cool on a road course. If its just dragstrip, then it won't matter much. I installed a similar intercooler on my...
No different than the "repo man" hitting a pedestrian after repo-ing the vehicle.
It's better for the owner (well, previous owner) if it lights itself on fire AFTER Tesla repossesses the vehicle.
Eventually, only self driving cars will be allowed on public roads. If you are lucky, certain cars my have a track/off road mode, which will use GPS to verify that you are not on a public road. Then you will be allowed to drive it yourself. Fortunately, I'll be dead long before this becomes...
The base suspensions (non PP) seemed to lack composure for me. Over bumps and around corners, the cars just don't feel planted. I suppose this could also be described as "floaty". But I realize the OP ditched all the stock components, so I assume that wouldn't apply here.
With respect to...
Last weekend I installed the suspension from my 2018 EB Performance Pack coupe onto my 2017 GT vert (front strut assembles, rear shocks, and rear sway bar). This, combined with a BMR front subframe brace, has made a material improvement in ride quality and overall composure. The base...
I primarily use my work PC, and I can't really install Race Render on this, so I'd need to use one of my personal laptops, which I don't use very often. Eventually I'll get around to it.
Yes, I think the hood vents helped. Unfortunately, I only got one decent day to run, and the ambient temps...
It's not, sorry :(
Actually, the video I have from the most recent Road America track day on 4/29 is not all that interesting. There were only about 55 cars there in total that day. There were laps where I didn't see another car for the entire lap. Obviously, that was good for the most...
