Got Rivals...
 
Just installed 255/40-17s on 17x9" +35 Weds & drove them home--so this will be continued after driven in anger.

Went w/ 255s, since they weigh the same as the 245 R-S3s & a touch taller to get ~65 in 2nd w/ 8k limiter. Headers gives enough TQ to compensate turning them, and the Weds are very light. Plus the 245s are STILL not out.

Initial road impressions.

--Loud
--Because rear camber can't be adjusted & mine is very wonky; the driver side only has -1.3 (-2 pass side), so it rubs on my side on the bigger bumps.
--They resemble the old V700 Victoracer & look like mudders from the side lol.

There's a PCA AutoX this Sun--so impressions are forthcoming.

Nice tires. So is that autocross at OCCC or Sheriff's Facility in Tavares?

Ok, Suncoast and some other clubs are going to be at Sebring this Sunday, I met you down there at the Martin event. Can't wait to hear about the tires.

No, I've been to CFRC a couple times and tracked at The FIRM two weeks ago. Was thinking about SCCA, but just learned of the PCA reading this thread. I looked at their site to learn about the locations.

I've already made plans to be at CFRC tomorrow night so I'll be out too late to do Sunday morning. Tavares is close to home so I may check it out when PCA is there.

Thanks for info on the location.
