After having a bit of fun at my first local PCA AX here in Atlanta,
I realize that I definitely need better tires than my Firestone Firehawk Indy 500. I was only 2 seconds behind a very nice 1976 911 and a 1979/80 SC 911, but cold have done better with better tires and a bit more camber and toe adjustment i think. — i’m looking for advice on tires and my track adjustment . i’m running 205/55-16 6” up front and 7” in rear, stock sway bar rear and front with Tarett front drop links. motor i think ran well, 3 year old 2056 build with stock he and Ben’s muffler. Thanks for the help. Phil |

Dr. Phil, I would get the tires of your choice and then work with that for the season. There's nothing like seat time to better understand your driving and the cars handling. I'm 77 and have been auto-crossing for 50 years and stillll love it. Best, Mark
