[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16333580, member: 68944"] So why did the Las Vegas media day cars have no issue? Lapped all day by novices just hammering brakes. Small track too. 140-30mph range for literally 8 hours. I could see the heavier wheel handling pack cars eating up tire though. Unsprung weight and under utilized contact patch eat up tire. Flat smooth contact patches without crazy camber as well as light easily rotated wheels dramatically reduce tire wear. The viper acr would be dramatically faster with just lighter wheels and tires. Put a 335 mpsc2 out back with a carbon wheel... only issue I can deduce is the 2000lbs of downforce in combination with the ~1500lbs of rear end may be too much load for an mpsc2. Otherwise I don’t understand the play call to run the kumho unless they were considering replacement cost. Obviously they wear so goddamned fast that even if it’s half price of the Michelin, it’s still a net loss. The Michelin’s seem to last pretty well. [/QUOTE]
