Car was a blast! Even with the factory tires, it's very tossable and nimble. Once we put on the Super Sports though, the chasis really came alive and showed the balance and grip that Toyota and Subaru have promised. I only ran the factory tires for one session on Friday and the best time was a 1:42.something. On the same day, on the PSS I went 1:37.1. This morning, the times were mostly the same, but in the evening session after the track cooled down a bit and dried out (we had intermittent rain all weekend), we made some air pressure adjustments and I tried a couple different things with my line and managed to click off a fast time of 1:35.7 - which I was pretty satisfied with.

For tire pressures on the Michelins we ran 31psi cold, 38psi hot and that seemed to be the sweet spot for performance and grip.

More video to come...
Thanks!

Would you say the balance changed when putting on the 245 performance tires compared to stock? If so, in what way. Did it become less lively?
How did it break loose compared to the stock tires?
