You have only street tyres because semi slicks don't fit on the 18" wheel and under the guard correct?
I'm no expert, but wouldn't it be more beneficial to have better tyres than slightly bigger/better brakes?
I'm sure there are some awesome brakes that could fit under 17" wheels, while at the same time having a great track tyre...
I don't know if they don't fit, but I'm pretty sure they don't.
Semi-slick tire is expensive and don't last long.
It is a street car also, so probably I will need other set of wheels, space to store it, patience to jack and change it…
I prefer to spend money in a cheap tire. It is not a competition it is just fun.
But someday I will try!
Because that I choose big brakes, it is so much fun to see the passenger desperate face when braking inside the turn.
that is some serious scortching of the rotors. weren't you changing to a brembo rotor after wrecking the ones that came with the wilwoods? I can't recall what pads you're running, you reckon the pads were the cause of the damage to the rotor?
Don't see semi-slick tyres delaminate like that too often either... actually I've never seen or heard of that, usually only happens to street tyres after many laps.
The brake pads were Wilwood PB-10. They are the wrong ones for extreme conditions. They deteriorate very fast with hi-temperature. I’m changing to the Polymatrix B compound.
The rotors have only light scratches, nothing too deep. They were caused buy the “pad’s iron”. The pads didn’t last for 50 laps.
My tires are not semi-slick, they are regular street tires.
