First track day is in the books. It rained all day! What a blast!

I ran out of time to order and decided to just run my current setup which, correction, is 235/275 RE050A. I am not sure why the P/O put on such a weird size combo but it understeered like a pig!

Another stock M3 was out there and I watched mid corner as he inched away, due to grip. I would catch on straights and braking but mid corner wasn't close. He had stock size michelins.

Availability shows OEM sizes RE-11 coming in around $300 cheaper than +10 size AD-08R. Really tough decision. I need to decide this week. Another track day coming up soon.

I've run PSS and AD08's on the street and track. PSS are great street tires. Horrible track tires. They grip, but they just get destroyed on the track. I wouldn't bother with PSS if you plan to do more than 2 track days a year. The only real downside of AD08's is they can get noisy.
