Generally speaking, the exterior changes look minor to me, although the (duckbill?) spoiler kind of looks like it doesn't integrate / flow well with the rest of the rear end lines from certain...

Hey Icybrzzz,

It sounds to me like you are relatively new to the HPDE game. So if that is the case, I completely agree with you in just trying things out with the stock Primacy tires. As bad as...

What tire size are you planning to run on the 17x8 wheels? IMO, if you are only going with a 8" wide wheel, the widest tire you'd want is 235, and the FRS can easily swallow up tires up to 255 with...

Following up on strat61caster's post, I'd like to add a couple of things:

Not much info on the tire, but the 245/40/17 size says that thread depth is only 4/32"?!

Either that can't be right, or this tire won't meet the SCCA 200TW requirements, ever.

UTQG ratings are just "rather loose"? IMO, they are downright arbitrary, and only serves as a rough guideline within a particular manufacturer.

The more I follow this thread, the more concerned I grow about the FA20 engine. If Toyota couldn't get the DI right, who else would really have the resources to do so?

Moto East (http://www.moto-east.com/main/brzfr-sgt86-tuning/) has a very good ECU tune for the FRS/BRZ. I wonder if this would be enough to avoid the factory ECU tuning's detonation?

In the latest updates, the Subaru concept is wearing 215/45/17, while the Toyota concept is wearing 215/40/18. Those are pretty much identical sizes.
