I just ordered a second set of wheels for street/wet track use (APEX ARC-8 19x10.5"), so now I am free to choose whatever track tire I want!

I sent an e-mail to Hoosier as well. Here are the questions I asked:
Quote:
  • Would they be a good fit on 11"-wide wheels I have? Your table says so, but wanted to check since my car is 4000 lbs with the driver.
  • Speaking of weight, what is the load rating of R7s at this size; do you think it would be safe for me to use this tire at the road course with my '14 Camaro SS 1LE?
  • Finally, many members report R6s are good for about 16 heat cycles. How are R7s in comparison?
