yes

 

I wouldn't know... but I can say our tire choice for STU was neither dependent on weights nor contingency.

 

Wow, didn't realize the Dunlops were already getting beat out, or are you basing your comment on weight? I'm pretty happy with mine, but I don't have much to compare to. Anyone know how the R-S3 compares? What attracted me to the Dunlops is the performance you get for the the price of the tire, but Tire Rack says the Hankooks are cheaper.

I'm excited for this class (and finally lowering my car because I'm a ricer ), but I'm aiming to be competitive on a local level and not spend a ton of money so tire price plays a significant role.

 

link to rules? i searched the scca site and didnt see them. I was wondering about ITBs?

 

ST-R is a new street touring class. Reading ST rules will tell you what's allowed and what's not as far as modifications. The only thing different for STR is cars allowed, and Tire/wheel widths.

Ok thanks

 

^^^^ the only other difference is they are using the STX diff allowances

 

Good tire discussion, thats pretty much what I was looking for. I ran re-01r last year and liked them but damn did I pay a lot for those. Wondering what tires were worth it basically and got some good choices to look into so thanks!

 

Can't wait to start on my STR build after Nats.

Will be trying 255 AD08s, Moton shocks with some reasonably stiff spring rates. I wonder if we can get it to be quicker than my ST car on course.. might take a while. Never really felt like my STX car was quicker than the ST car.

Wonder how the 2010 pax number will be for this class?

 

I think out of the box STR is going to be faster than ST. STU? Maybe.
