^bingo. I really don't understand the push towards 19 and bigger on high performance sports cars.there's no advantage.

Run your 19s for winter. Get a tire tree for storage or mount on the wall of your garage.

Garage
You realize he running a 300AA tire, Which is a great street tire in rain and dry but add a 1/2" lower side wall which on a stiff tire already reduces side wall flex as you start to push time and speed your going to have issues. Last the stiff tire he's on won't tolerate much - chamber. The proof is that he blistered of a set. The Pilot Sport PS2 are a much better choice, Hankook RS3, RE11, RE71, and others
Better yet buy a set of beater 18" rims and keep running the Super Sports on the road and get a tire like the RS3 RE71 or RE11, PS2 or Pilot Sport Cup put them on at home and drive to the track.
