A patient of mine tracked a set of Yokohama AD08 at the last Mission Day and he said highly of them. This may work for a wet/road setup, but need to check sizes availability

I just don't want to see you take your brand new car out to Mission with a potentially messed up alignment. Way too many walls to hit.

I can't wait until next spring!

If it like the GT3RS.1, and you are going to track it - unless you are already racing in a pro series, along with the alignment, do the following:

-Keep the front sway bar just shy of its tightest setting
-Keep the rear sway bar as "loose" as it goes.

You will understand if you push the car hard on the track. However, the sway bars on version 2 may be set up different than on GT3RS.1.

Are those MPSC the "pseudo MPSC" tires? They'll be fine to start with. Right now I use PS2 for street/wet track. I'm looking to change to something else though, not sure what. I burn through the outside of the tires way too fast if the track is our usual mix of wet/dry throughout the day.

Good luck with #13!

Cheers,

totally agree. for some reason my last set of MPSC rear tires only lasted 2600 km(no track nor autocross at all). Tire shop said my alignment was way off. However, those MPSC were installed by Porsched dealer, I guess alignment is really important in those tires

Knowing Vancouver, I actually needs a set of wet track/road tires. Any suggestions?

Personally I prefer the Pirelli P-Zero Corsa's over the MPSC'S any day and all day. In addition the Pirelli's are superior in the wet over the MPSC's.
In dry conditions I prefer the Hoosier R6's.

Once again congrats, the 2010 GT3RS looks outrageous. A street RSR.
