Z06 Silver Bullet

am curious what folks think.
Better then prior compund in lap times, etc..??

BuckeyeZ06

Much better tire, both speed-wise and longevity.

Z06 Silver Bullet

Then which??

Did it need tons of camber?? which compund, how long to heat up and how many cycles to it's life??

Thanks

I ran some used A6s on a road course in Texas about a month ago. They stuck fine, in my limited experience. Warmed after around 1.5 miles, dialed in after a full lap. They never gave up on me, so either I never got to their limit or was just right on that day. Since it was an HPDE, I have no lap times. I was passed by C6 Z06s, Porsche and well-driven BMW. I passed a couple vipers, and some C6, plus the usual BMW, Porsche and so on. I ran 17/315 rear and 17/295 front, at 26 and 28 cold respectively. The tires had at least two heat cycles on them when I got 'em. I'm going to use them for at least one more track weekend.

Yak, you are running them at too high a pressure. Try 25F, 22R.

Are those pressures for autocross or road course?

I may have had the f/r pressures reversed. My next purchase will be a pyrometer. I'm beginning to need to know the temps across the tire, not just the pressure.

Those pressures seem real low, for a road course. I am a relative noob though, to R compound tires. Any and all input is welcome. What are they getting up to hot starting off that low in a 25 minute session?

Any T1 guys used these yet??

Since the scrub market seems to have dried up, these will most likely be my next purcahase (R6 that is)...im surprised there are no reviews

Figure about +5 to +7 PSI when hot. Please note that the T-1 guys that run A6s start them at around 24F 20R.

Many of the T-1 Vettes at the SCCA race at Summit Point this spring were on A6s.
