I couldn't agree more - hook is big big improvement over stock tires and I also enjoy the ride better. Glad you're liking them so far! I'm currently trying to figure out what set of aftermarket wheels to get as I would like to get a set dedicated for track days (leaning toward APEX). def going to slap RT660s on them (once budget allows.....) bc they do a great job
My RT660 rear tires are at 3/32 with less than 6k miles of use. I do go WOT on a regular basis though. Fronts are still doing well at 6/32 with the same 6k mileage.
ever been to the track with stock size tires?
took my pops to the track yesterday - we had a blast.
For all those wondering how the RT660s felt 295/35/19 rear and 265/35/19 front on stock wheels, I have to say I was surprised with how well they did cornering. With that said and as has been discussed here and elsewhere, ideally these tires would sit on a slightly wider aftermarket wheel but obviously I cannot personally compare as I have not experienced them outside of on these stock wheels.
3rd place in my class (smoked by two guys sharing their Porsche 911 Turbo S) but I was happy!
I went bigger up front on my S2K. Totally lost her play. Thus had reservations of using a square 275/35-18s on this platform. However, it works on this car. If youāre adding power and need the added grip (in the back), you definitely should do it. Thatās easier to work with than going bigger up front.
it!
i miss my S2K so much, i used to have a square 245/40/17 on my S2K it worked amazing.I went bigger up front on my S2K. Totally lost her play.

For me, stock power, square 275s with 200 or better tread wear tires, Iām McLovin
Being a 200TW, and observing the little shape-changing divots on the shoulders of my set, I can't see them lasting more than 10-15k, at the most. They're also not built for comfort at all, being noisy, harsher riding, and tramlining a bit on grooved pavement. I still love them, but would never take a long road trip with them mounted up.
Will said! You find your highest wear points quickly when on the softies. For me itās on track. Not being a daily driver, I donāt notice any effects from the few miles I put on during the week. Like you, when it comes to tires, I look for a good buy on our daily cars. But yeah, I wouldnāt want a track tire on all the time. Some friends run Kumho V730s or Bridgestone RE71s on their cars year round. Probably a few pages back, but Iāll throw the chart up anyway.
