The main part of the tire is fine, it is the sidewalls that I believe are in bad shape - or you think I can get a lot more heat cycels out of them? I have two days at Pocono in a couple of weeks and need to drive home on them. (last year i drove home with thread visible).
Thanks for that feedback. On the steering, I tend to set the wheel as I turn in and then unwind after the apex. Maybe I am turning too early, or too sharp and angle for the speed. I do tend to get some rotation on the longer turns. Going to spend some time to (over) analyze myself on the...
I need some informed advice!
I keep going through my front tires way too quickly. Here are a picture of a set on RE71RS fronts that were brand new before my last track weekend (3 days at Watkins Glen 11 heat cycles 20/25 min per sessions). I think they are already shot because of the sidewalls...

I would imagine that if you only upgrade the fronts than the breaking balance may shift, but you may be able to adjust for that. Too much break on the front I believe will cause more understeer.
I just upgraded to Giro Disc 2 rotors with magic pads, but I upgraded fronts and rears.
In case you have not seen this brilliant video, I thought I had to share..
Not expecting a Supra pulling away for Super Formula cars! They weigh less than 1,500 lb (667kg) and have 550hp.
Has anyone had a fuel pump issue on high speed right corners?
On the 'light bulb' of New Jersey Motorsports Park I kept getting the engine cut out when I got a really good exit and at one point it went into limp mode. Each time I got the error code: 11A605
Of course it went into limp mode when...

Just dusted off the winter cobwebs and did first track day of the year at Lime Rock on Saturday.
It was awesome to see some fellow Zupras out there as well.
@razorlab - I realized after I left the track that you may have been there in the launch edition - is that right?
Either way - some...
So, I took my supra in to have the Verus camber plates installed at this good shop in Mamaronek in NY and they call me to tell me that the car still had the suspension spacers on! (Used for transporting cars to destination).
I clearly am an ass for not having seen them when I have replaced pads...
Yes - Here are the Verus camber plates I ordered:

Some real skills keeping her in a straight line!
I ended up ordering the Versus camber plates and we will see how they fare. Thanks to all for your great perspectives!
Yes, I meant clunking.
You are making me rethink options. What camber plates have you found work best on your mkv and what parts did you replace to for the sphericals?
