If you have used Yoko slicks on Vette come in.
A005B in GT3 sizes. 18 all around. Takeoffs & I have them mounted for a practice this Sat.
A bit smaller than the 710 & A6 sizes I usually use.
I figure a track compound will take a couple runs to heat up & then be ok.
Anything else?
Pressures?
My tire guy was saying there is some weird way you mount/point the rotation arrow so all arrows point to driver. Makes no sense to me unless it's some Porsche secret trick with Toyo's?
These are really light weight compared to DOT R's.

Not sure what you are doing but I have used 280 650 18 yoko advan slicks on all 4 corners on 4 stock rear wheels. They work great. Hot pressures are 30psi for my driving style and most frequented track by probe pyrometer with ambient temp 40-60F.

Melting Slicks
I put a set of these on my old Z06 but I didn't get a chance to take it to the track. I agree that they are very light. They bite like there is no tomorrow too. Entrance/exit ramps were fun

Thanks guys, should have been more specific, an scca autox practice. Stagger sizes from a GT3 series (it's the spec tire)
I'll take some temps and probably start at my a6 pressures say 32/28

I buy used Yoko and Dunlop slicks, and run them conservatively since I never know their history before I get them. I usually shoot to get them 36-38 hot, although I'm sure their ideal pressure range is much lower.
