OG RT615....what is the date code on those bad boys?! lol And the Nexen Sur4g tire seems to be more popular on the west coast. I don't see anyone running them by me, at least in endurance racing. Perhaps they won't hold up to many hours of racing? Comparable to RE71R? |

The SUR4G we have seen perform almost on par with the re71r with more heat cycles. It stays very consistent and grippy until the end. Its very consistent we have knocked out 30 min sessions with lap times all within a second of each other. We also get more events out of a set vs the same size re71r. This is on an NA car with no aero so results can change. I know OP has experience with them as well.

No, my SOW CW time was set in like 2008... My CCW 1:30 was set last weekend on FZ201’s... Just correcting incorrect info from forever ago! I’m planning on getting the 595rs-rr’s for Nissan Challenge. The Nexen’s are too expensive to justify. I could get z3 star specs for just a lil more. Don’t really understand why people run the Nexen’s for $160/tire... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks. You have any apples to apples lap time comparisons? The 30 min sessions with minimal lap time deviation is probably more of a testament to your driving skills than the tires |

From Federal themselves. The contingency pricing is only like a couple bucks more than my cost so for logistics easier to hit them up direct. I can pm you the contact info.

Thanks! I feel like if the temp was a little higher I could have gotten that 1:29... It was pretty cold, was having trouble getting enough heat into the tires to get them to work. The morning session was super sketchy, like driving on ice... Gotta stop messing around with used tires if I wanna progress... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

For now I'm just trying to get seat time in a variety of tracks, not necessarily be in a challenge league. Might join SpeedSF challenge or Nissan Challenge depending on how it goes. Added a video of thunderhill west! https://youtu.be/a7n7N0slgM8

Love the details on your car. p90d, marble looking center piece, tire touching the fender(?) lol, expensive gloves If I may throw in my two cents, I think your spring rates are overkill and rear shocks are under-damped. good driving though! |

I really want to get out there again soon. Unfortunately I don't have a "stock" 240 to fling around anymore. Might just have to bring my 318ti out for comparison (closest thing I have at the moment).
