Are those factory recommended pressures for the GT3 or should the GT3 also use 36 and 44 as per the other cars?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

In this month's issue of the German car magazine, "Sport Auto", an article reported on a comparison test on a GT3 between four different racing tires allowed for street usage: Dunlop Super Sport Race, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup, Pirelli P Zero Corsa and Yokohama Advan 048. The test was conducted on the Hockenheim race track. Result: The Yokohama tire was the most precise but also the most difficult to drive. The Dunlop tire was the tamest and the slowest. The Michelin was judged to be the best tire for the GT3, showing excellent balance, closely followed by the Pirelli. Lap times: (28 degrees C) Dunlop - 1.18,8 min Michelin - 1.17,7 min Pirelli - 1.18, 1 min Yokohama - 1.18,5 min Tire pressure set after heating up the tires for 4 rounds: 2,4 bar front, 2,8 bar back.

POST 2Original post

Phil, did the article mention the rim sizes and tire sizes that they used in the test? What is the pounds equivalent on the pressures for us US guys. Thanks.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Scott, Converts to about 35/40 psi. 18" rims, 225/40 front, 285/30 rear

POST 4Original post

is there a retailer for these tires here in the USA?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

To further torment you, here is a picture of the treads:

POST 6Original post

Is it true that the Michelins should be at approx 200 degrees surface temp hot? I could not get mine past 180 degrees this week at Limerock. If I want to get the temp up, would you normally increase or decrease tire pressure?

POST 7Original post

Ed. One would normally reduce air pressure to raise the temperature.(more flex)

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The article quoted 70 degrees Celsius (158 Farenheit) as the correct temperature.

POST 9Original post

Can you post the whole article, even if its in german?

POST 10Original post

[quote]Originally posted by Arthur: <strong>is there a retailer for these tires here in the USA?</strong><hr></blockquote> I bought mine (Michelin sport cups) from Tire Rack.

POST 12Original post

Radar, The recommendations were made in the article and reflect track usage. Whether the manufacturer recommended these for their racing tires was not stated. Edward, If you email me your home address, I will send you the article per regular mail. Do not email me via this userid but rather via my 993RS userid. I am away from home for a couple of days and set up this user id from another PC.

POST 13Original post

I have run the Pilot Sports at the Glenn and Lime Rock. I was told by a reliable person that they are the best at 32-34lbs HOT. I have not tried them at higher pressure but at the Glenn they were within 1/2 second of the times that I was turning with Hoosiers. I was running the pilots at 34lbs all around.
