A note about traction control.
Yesterday I dropped 2sec of my PB at PMP with my traction control off and it is the first time my PB is with DTC off. At LRP and NYST my PB is with DTC on.
I also used 275/35/19 on the rear and it was the third track day for this set. That means it was moving about, in a good way, but I had to be sensible with the throttle, especially in 3rd.
It also means that I was able to get it hot. temp hot front 265/35 and the rear 275/35 were similar (actually the same)
This is something I have noticed when on 295/30/19 on the rear. It does not seem to get as hot as the front.
So this leads to interesting thought, while 295 has more rubber on the road, if I can't get it hot enough, it may not provide more traction than a 275.
Contradicting this thought is the 305/30/19 on the rear. At WGI (big track) I was on 305/30/19 and I was able to get it as hot as the front.
So there you have it, no clear answer on any of these technical issues. But if any of you can provide some thoughts on sizes trade offs it would be appreciated.
I am torn trying to decide among three rear sizes: 275/35/19, 295/30/19 and 305/30/19
All fits well and all have been used at LRP, PMP, NYST and WGI with no clear winner
