The setup I'm using consists of gopro cameras linked via wifi remote. Data is collected using the AiM solo DL. Data and video are merged with trackvision software, and multiple views are processed with adobe premiere elements. You have to be a video geek like me to want to bother with all of it.

How do the stock Primacy tires hold up durability and temperature wise on the track? My experience last summer in my Mustang GT was that the stock tires, granted they were Pirelli P-Zero Nero "ultra high performance all seasons" just shredded and overheated. Right now I am leaning towards going to a dedicated wheel and tire combo (RPF1s and ZII's) for the track and autocross pretty much just for wear and brake dust reasons, although a more progressive breakaway would be a big plus to train on as well.

Hey, I'm with all of you. I was expecting a lot more out of the MPSS myself and was just as surprised as all of you. Data doesn't lie, though. If you want a big change in grip, bump up to RS3 or BFG rivals.

I don't know what tire quality this is called, but the car sticks through bumps better now. Certain bumps would send the tail out. Now it sticks. Definitely the superior road tire. If I run out of stock tire on the track, I'll be able to AB them.

TL/DR: MPSSs may work over a wider range of temps than PHPs |

My setup: whiteline front camber bolts maxxed out to -1.5 Project mu club racer brake pads for the track MPSS tire (OEM size on OEM wheels) That's it.

Simon
Okay....you are much like I was many years ago...I was a "data" guy...this test says this tire does XYZ....but this other tires does the same -.05%....so clearly the 1st tire is better..... The real world is MUCH different.... As I always say....any type of driving on track is EXPENSIVE....so why not wear out the perfectly good tires that came on the car....I PREACH to mod as little as you can.....there is no sense in making the car much faster than you can handle as a driver....that is the path you are heading down....how do I know...BEEN THERE DONE THAT...and lost thousands $$$ I understand this is what you don't want to hear....its not cool or fun.... But I will ask this of you....I am running Ft86 cup at Thunderhill in a 100% bone stock car....nothing has been changed....lets see where a bone stock FRS times end up overall.....I don't expect to be FTD (fast time of day)...not even close...but I think my bone stock time will be pretty respectable.... |
