[QUOTE="RMT, post: 206838, member: 6069"] Thanks. Calabogie is really tough on tires. I will run mostly at Mosport (CTMP) but not averse to doing a Calabogie/Tremblant double header. Don't want to drop the car much.....maybe 1/2 inch as I will still want to drive on the street. Will see where it sits when the camber gets dialed in, then go from there. I like the Sport Cup 2's because they are great track tires and I can just move them from the left side to the right side to even out the wear and I can drive to and from the track with them. I am targeting 2000 track kms of life IF I can get the car set up right. Since I will be driving to and from the track, not many better options. Toyo R888R's have same sizes but heavier and not as "weather" tolerant a tire for the drives to and from the track. If I "adjust" the front sizing to 265/35/19 I can bring the Eagle F1 SuperCar 3R tires into play. A 1.9% increase in tire diameter, so probably will still not set the computer off. At some point, I will look at the exhaust system, as I am sure there is weight to be lost there.
