I've also run 295 RR and have 295 AR1s on 10.5 Titans currently on the car. I'm going to try the CR1 in lieu of A052 to keep with SCCA Max class at the next event.

Not exactly. What I was trying to allude at is his car isn't doing the lap times it is because of the CR1 being some magic tire, or that it's wide for its size giving him extra grip. My point was his car is fast because he's making almost 700hp to the wheels and has serious (and well designed) aero. He's not making up the lap time to beat records due to mechanical grip from the CR1, that's what I was hinting at.
I also think he's limited to 275 due to his class rules. Don't quote me on that as I don't follow TT very closely or have a good understanding of specific class rules - I think I just heard it mentioned in one of his videos.
I am curious to try to the CR1's as well though. I'd like to get some feedback from people who have ran them and the AR1's and how they compare to each other. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the CR1 is faster and wears faster then the AR1 despite being double the TW rating lol. |
Ah, that makes more sense. Yup serious aero and serious HP & torque. But if the tires were shit it all those improvements wouldn't overcome shit mechanical grip, no?
Yeah depending on SLB or GTA I think track mod or street mod is limited to 295s. But I thought it was also limited to Yoko specifically. But I get those two orgs confused all the time
