Nürburgring 2018 lap

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

Sounds also like the rubbing is important also

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
