Hi all hope you all well just got back from the ring had a great time the car is getting faster but still got load of tyre rubbing from the front tyres so I just put on some spacers for the front suspension springs that KW sent me. I might go 255/35 18 for the front if I can get the height and I’m changing to nankang ar 1 tyres the Michelin cup tyres nearly cost me a serious crash.

Good run. What happened to that tire? Digging into the rim of the wheel or what? That's crazy.

Well they are rubber band thick so I guess the sidewall, or what that can be called so, is put to some serious strain :eek:

Sounds also like the rubbing is important also :rolleyes:

Have look at this

Interesting video. Michelins have always had flexible sidewalls, but guess they have some problem solving to do. If Porsche leave for Pirelli, that's certainly a sign
