Pete - Sorry for the delay.....I am sooooo envious.....I would LOVE to drive on the Autobaun....at least I can see what it is like on your channel....thank you! Scott
So have a negative 2 (+) degrees on both fronts and 1 plus on the rear. i do agree a lower pressure helps as they dont like over 35 psi....i am thinking a 33 psi when hot, which means a 26 psi when cold.....and they are a good tire.....but still prefer the Goodyears F1 RRR 😀 Thanks for the feedback!
awesome! just curious but do you think these could be a good daily in terms of tire wear? I understand theyre terrible in rain but im mainly concerned with the wear rate
Understood, so I bought them for track use and only drive them on the roads when going to the track and getting gas. They are holding up very well but have a 100 tread wear rating. So if using them as a daily driver I would assume less than 5,000 miles on a set. But again, that is not what I bought them for, nor would I recommend using them for that purpose. Hope that is helpful. Scott
I generally start off cold at a 30 PSI on the fronts and a 31 PSI on the rears, once I get on the track and run 10 laps, I adjust to 34 PSI fronts and 35 PSI on the rears. On the track, particularly at PBIR, the tires become slick at 36 PSI and above. Also, I generally to not use these tires for general driving/commuting.....they are terrible in the wet and I live in an area where rain is possible everyday, so only use them on the track. Hope this was helpful.
Thanks for all your info!
Very valuable! I am working to get the p51 rims also and looking forward to your experiences!
Glad it was helpful!!! Scott
Great review. I am really thinking of getting these Nankangs on my gt350 for track use! Thanks

I think you should use 28 psi on track and get some adjustable camber front strut mounts
