I am busy figuring out how many 285/30/19 RE50A for $134.00/tire do I want. I am fully stacked on the rears |

So I am thinking of hitting up a 1/2 mile event in my area.
I know people get real serious about trap speeds and being within the set roll speed, but I have done it in the past and took off higher than the set speed and stayed in it for like a bus length just to see if I could hit a personal top speed best. I managed s top speed of 139 mph at a 1/3 mile event rolling from probably 70-75 mph when it should have been 60-65 mph and ending at about a bus length after the trap speed sensors. I think the 1/2 mile event is from a dig, but where should I be able to get my M3 in a 1/2 if I just stay in it a bit (safely of course). |

Attached pics show how much the 295 RR poke on 18x10 apexs, as well as compared to 305 Pirelli dh

wow... I'm actually shocked at how narrow 305 Pirelli DH is. Was not expecting that.

At this point, the Friday morning sessions will be in the high 30s or low 40s. Might be a day of just driving at 8/10ths and focusing on refining my racing line, maybe even experimenting with the new flat-tune to see if I need to change shift points.

Wow, that's a bigger difference then 295 RR's and 275 NT01's lol.
I've run both on 10" wheels and the difference is close, but I believe a bit smaller then what you've shown here. 305 take-offs would be easy to fit if I/anyone can fit 295 RR's.. surprising. Last edited by tsk94; 02-15-2021 at 02:38 PM.. |

I have 4 x RE50A 285/30/19 en route from Tire Rack for $135/tire plus tax for new 2018.
This is a tire I tried on the front last last year and it produced the fastest time at NYST for a max performance. While I am not advocating for this tire to be the fastest, or best, or current technology, it is worth noting that i did full two and a half days on a very abrasive track. So it had excellent longevity. Not sure how long the price will last, but you it is worth checking if you are in the market. |

Nice to know I'm not alone. I was starting to feel like I was the only dipshit with a sunroof'd e92 m at the track. like they made a total of (1), and it was mine.
I ask myself often: WHY DIDNT I MAKE THE CF ROOF A PRIORITY WHEN I BOUGHT THIS THING?? |

If it was easy to find the other liner I'd swap it, but for foreseeable future this works fine. I also applied a bead of RTV black when installing and another bead from above to be 100% confident about water.

This makes the most sense depending on class restrictions regarding interiors.
