Okay, as you may have noticed, I’ve upped the ante with my new-to-me 2010 Boxster S with a PDK. I have a track event in a week and I’m scrambling toe get this car ready.
Question one: the tire spec for this car is 265/40/18 for the rears. My track tires are 265/35/18. I’d like to use these tires for this event, do we see any problems?
Question 2 concerns my Hawk HP plus brake pads: the fronts call for a different model than my 2004 pads but when I compared the two, I could only see that the new car had bigger weights attached to the pads but were otherwise identical. Anyone have experience with this?
So it’s my turn to ask the questions now.
