PSA: Check your gear, especially tire gauges.

Loaned mine out to a buddy in grid (actually Alex Piehl) and he immediately hands it back to me saying it's reading way off as he just put 36PSI in...

Thanks for subscribing!

I'll agree with you on that. I kept the stock Primacies on the stock wheels for the first year I had the car and ran them at longer distance events just for seat time. They...

Thinking of this now, in my 2017, which I think has the same gearing as the 2022's, 2nd is short on even some of our local courses. You're stuck on the limiter for 2-3 seconds in some sections that...

One comment on price: They're not really that cheap. 225/45/17 for the RT660's come to $720. The RE-71RS have a $50 instant rebate, $70 mail in rebate, and even another $30 off if you use the TR...

I run 225/45/17 only because it's what you can fit on stock wheels with a +48 offset, even with a small slip on spacer. 245 needs less offset via wheels and spacers to work, which I didn't want to do...

Isn't something like a 245 on 9" going to be quicker and properly fit the wheel? Because I get the idea here is you want a tire that fits the wheel width you're running, but not totally overly...

Basically per SCCA rules, street class cars have to stick to OEM wheel widths. For the twins here, that's usually 7.5" now for 2022 and first gen PP models. So everyone jams on 245 or 255 tires, but...

I call DS the misfit class. If it doesn't fit somewhere else, it gets thrown in DS. No class for the WRX and STI, so let's just dump both in DS. BRZ/FRS twins, first and second gen, no class for...

Mine eclipsed 214 runs this weekend. I've only ever taken the original RE-71R out to about 205 runs. They still have enough tread that I'll probably run them at least another ~15 runs at our next...

Heat cycled out at about 125 runs. Ran them out to 200 runs. There's still tread left and they're not even at the wear bars, but they started losing pace halfway through the season. This really bugs...

We have people stuffing 245 (and possibly 255) Falkens and I think RE71RS under there. I believe the 7mm spacer up front is the ticket, but I believe you'll still need some aftermarket wheels for a...

I just jumped to 35/33 mid-event, during a points event because of how crappy I felt the lower pressures were. Zero testing. It's always hard to 100% confirm if there's mechanically more grip unless...

But wouldn't that be highly dependent on the weight of the car and drivetrain (FWD, RWD, AWD)?

I agree on the tire life. I was closer to where I should have been earlier in the year, but since hitting about 125 runs, my placement has decreased to where I'm at now.

With a 17x8 RPF1 within street class offset rules, do actually fit. The 8 inch ones curve the spokes more and clear the Brembos.

... but we're stuck here with 7.5" lol.

I mainly look at overall PAX now since DS is a clusterfuck. We don't have a lot of ST drivers in general and many of those may not be fully setup for the class. For example, DS had 15 drivers this...

What do you think the actual odds are the first gen twins go to ES in the next ~2 years? Seems nuts they're still there with the gen 2 and CTR.

The problem is he has the Brembos, so no RPF1 in 7.5" is going to fit to my knowledge. The spokes are not curved enough to clear the brakes. If it just had the normal brakes, no problem and RPF1's...
