Went to Tire Rack today and got the Kumho V710's mounted on my new (too me) Keizer rims. Went the with the 205 50 15 non heat cycled. Of course when I got home I had to put them on the car. I using 1/8" spacer on the rears and 1/4"on the front looks like I need to adjust my ride height a little. Front is setting 24 inches from floor to top of wheel arch, rears are at 22.

Well not my professional opinion but a wise old man (JP) told me that -2 degrees is a good place to start for these sticky tires. fine tune from there with temp readings.
I am in about the same boat as you, I have an Autocross car that I drive to and from the events and work sometimes. 10k miles a year I run cheap street tires 195/50 front 195/60-15 rear on Mahles. It's what I got and it seems to work. if I had a 10 foot pole and a pile of money I "MIGHT" buy another 928. I have another teener in the garage aka. "The Stripper" I have been gathering parts for it to build a bitch'n street only car. |
