Happy to help! I have about 30 trackdays and Autox events under my belt with the Camaro, and tried several different wheel/tire set-ups so I feel quite confident that I have found a few good set-ups.

Finally after months of research, I've got some very good info...Thanks again Erik for all the great info, mostly by PM'S.
I am very much leaning on the way of the Toyo's
1 more question, when you say that the Toyo's don't last that long, about how many track days do you think you can get out of them???

I would say an easy 6-8 track days, halfway through I would make sure to have them rotated by your tire shop to get the most out of them. They are directional you have to literally swap tire - wheel.

I only have 1 full track day on my new set so it's hard to say exactly how long, but that's typically what I have seen before on my Vette.

Anytime Michael!
