I am looking into buying them for my over powered GT2.

How sticky are they and how stiff is the side wall in comparison to Corsa Systems?

 

hey slow, hows the tt? congrats on the gt2...i was debating on that white one at champion, then maybe same conversion as you.

 

As promised - just add time, $$, and stir. The tt is great. Had issues blowing MAFS by using leaded 110 but other than that CMS has been great. Everytime I bring it in they tweak it a bit more.

I am in Asia right now but when I get back I want to run the 60-130 time.

The GT2 is going to be the bomb. No question about that.

I am seeking out some tires though. I am not concerned about life cycle, I just want something that fits the stock wheels.

 

I think sport cups will be your best bet

 

haha, I thought you were kidding when you texted me the other day!

 

I have concerns about SC's based on experience. Having used them on vehicles with equal or lesser HP and even well heated and me trying to modulate the power I could not receive good results from the SC. I will be sitting at 800 FT# in the best of conditions and the only way out I can see is the Trofeo or changing wheel sizes (I want a streetable tire).

I am willing to try again but the Trofeo is intriguing and seems to have the "sticky" characteristics I seek.

 

I bought Trofeo's about a month ago and have tracked them twice. I run about 31psi in both front & rear (drop to approx 25psi and get tyres heated over first 3-4 laps). Tirewall is very stiff - lot of grip even when not up to temperature.

 

Thank You! Just as I expected. Where did you find them?

 

good to know
are they good in high speeds ?
cause nitto have same grip and they're no good in top speed !
regards

 

I agree - I am a big NT05r fan but speed is a limitation. I wish these tire mfg's would see the light. 19" 325/335 width tires are badly needed in a c-compound. I organized an e-mail drive to Nitto 2 years ago for the 345's and they came through - they cant keep um in stock now. I wish Toyo would do the same with the R888. Vipers, high HP 997TT's, Vettes all need these tires - it's a huge market!

 

I haven't had any problems at speed, grip is great under heavy braking and through very fast turns. I'm happy with them so far.

 

Found them through big-o (motorsports group) on west coast. Not sure where you'd find them on east coast.

 

thanks for sharing whats there speed rate any idea ?

 

No idea what speed rating is for these tyres. You may wish to take a look at the pirelli website. I used them at Laguna Seca and my max speed on main straight was 125-130mph then heavy brake for hairpin. Tyres worked very well at these speeds and stuck through the hairpin. Heading to different track next week where there's a longer straight.

 

i believe in tires with groves for top speed
i know that the Trofeos
are rated Y and the Y = 300km/h = 186 mph imagine even the nitto invo are rated Y as well !
