Great info! What sizes are you using?
I think for Summit Point I would start around 26, VIR around 28psi then. I'm tracking these Federal things in 100tw on Ebay, $620 with free shipping makes them awful tempting.

Fwiw - i have about 15 sessions on my 265/35/18 FZ201's (on 9.5's) and i am significantly slower than almost corded NT01's. About 3 seconds around a 1:20 lap. Maybe they are heat cycled out, maybe it's due to the width but they just do not give me the same confidence that the NT01's did.
They sit funny on the wheel too. When i place the wheel/tire on the ground, the rim actually pokes past the tire edge, which i do not like. Maybe i will try a 285/30/18. Here is a pic of the fz201's vs a 275/35 NT01. The 265/35/18 is much smaller in width and overall height.

Dang, that's fast wear. I have two long days on my set, and I'm scheduled for one long day and two regular days next weekend on a very abrasive track, so I'll see what gives.
Maybe they need heat cycling before use? If so, they're not worth the hassle and I'll just go back to NT01s. |

I want to pick the brain of some of the people here. I have an 18x10 (f) & 18x11 (r) rim and want to try these out but the largest size is a 285/30/18 with a 265 on the front 10” wheel. The smaller contact patch concerns me but I also feel that the tire might be stretched and not give the kind of support in the corners. Any thoughts from the guys with more experience in this category would be great.

I'd still love to see your comparison shots. Also, I'll be happy to PM you my cell # so I can see a higher res shot than what you can upload on the app.

There is a school of thought in track setups, that the wheel width should match the tread width. The idea being to minimize sidewall deflection and provide repeatable slip angles.
Grassroots Motorsports magazine had a test a few years ago, and wrote an article to back up the theory with some back-to-back testing. Another school favors getting as much tire width on the car as possible. Makes obvious sense. Who knows? I run 235s on 8.5" wheels on one car, and 205s on 7" wheels on another car, and both those setups are pretty close to matched wheel and tread widths. I have run 265s on 9" wheels on another car, which is close to an inch wider than the wheel. What does BMW spec on the car -- is it a 245 on the 8.5" fronts? I'm guessing that's a half inch bigger tread over the wheel. I have run that setup too. I was happy with all of them. I would be comfortable running 265 on 10s and 285 on 11s, for sure. Would bigger be better? I don't see myself buying both sizes and two sets of identical wheels to make the back-to-back comparison. |

Would love to make it a bulk order to save some money on shipping. The RE71R addiction is getting a little out of hand... aka my wife and I finally joined our bank accounts lol I'll hit him up tomorrow and see what kind of supply they have, their shipments are quite small and seem to be quarterly from Asia. They're releasing a new cheater 200trdw tire soon too, I'm try and get an ETA on these Shoot me a DM.
