Tyres like new 😂
Ps4s or cup2 looks much worse even after 1 trackday.
Btw, why you choose 4wd instead 4wd sport ?

Grab some PFCs and get rid of those PZ4s. They suck ass.

IOMG G82 LCI track crew representing.
Just feeling weired that rears are burnt so much faster than front.

I already ordered RSL29. Heard they can last 10 track days. Had orignally planned for gripppier tires but now I wanted to push the limit more on the stock setup.

Do you have an estimate how faster PS4S can be than PZ4?

Heared from a few places that 4WD is faster than 4WD sport.

But now I regret that I should have at least try a few laps on 4WD sport or RWD

Can't tell you how much faster they'd be because PS4S isn't the greatest track tire either. If you're in Cali, run a set of Cup 2s if you really want street tires.

Otherwise, the best way to go is a set of wheels + track tires.

Yeah I have a few popular options for track tires, but I still wanna see what the stock limit I can get on this car.

Will definitely opt in 19" square dedicated track rims + tires after I am bored with street tires like PZ4 and PS4S.

Nice driving, bro! Car is a beast. How many track days do you have under your belt if you don't mind me asking?

4WD is faster than 4WD sport so I wouldn’t worry about it

Nice times!

I ve previously attended an M track day at Sonoma, which to me feels like coasting all the way
This is my first day on Laguna Seca and driving my own car

The rear pads wear out quicker because they are smaller, are used more than on other cars, and have poor cooling.

I don't think the compounds are different between the front pads and rear, but that could be possible.

Rear pad wear isn't as much of an issue with track pads.

I heard from independent testing that since its brake by wire, if the computer detects brake fade, it would automatically increase brake pressure for the same brake pedal depression.

Worried that if the brakes were to fail, it would come out of seemly nowhere.
