How the heck do they get them up to temperature? Normally it takes me 2 full laps to get them up to temperature at H2R. Are u sure they are not running R-Comps?

I think Hoosier A6 is what they are running. But still those are pretty slick :p

That might be the reason, i have heard the hoosier warms up a lot faster but it also lasts a lot less than the bfgoodrich r1's which i am running.
It might be a good tire then for AUTO-X since its a short run and you are looking for ultimate grip. Still need to break in the engine, after that i might try auto-x.

Pilot super sports in 215/45/17 all the way around! Love absolutely love the added grip and its dramatic for maintaining the stock tire size!

If you're sure it was a FRS, and if it was Argento, probably me. Asphalt, probably Tuckdaddy. If it might have been a BRZ and black, probably Ranatsu. WRB, maybe Aaronasaurus or Jimbobrand. We were all in that area last night.

This^ Although depending on what time it may or may not have been me. Don't recall seeing a BRZ though.

I am pulling my hair out deciding on wheel options so I decided on looking to powdercoat the stockers for now while I destroy the current set of 215s. Can anyone recommend a good shop in town to have this done? Thanks!
