I'll be there, should be a tough battle in STU. 3 GT Academy guys in 350s, a corvette or two, and a bunch of boost buggies.

I use a Bad Elf often, but exclusively use the logging feature. I record my session (autocrossing in my case) then I use the Bad Elf app to export the data and open it in my data analysis app (which...

Alternatively, if you want a little more life out of your tires and don't mind not having the absolute fastest tire, I'd go with Hankook RS3 V2s, same size (or maybe 285s on the rears)

FWIW, on RS3s on my 370 I have picture evidence of the tires rolling over onto the sidewall at 38 PSI. I always ran at least 42 in the front and that seemed to help a lot.

What j-rho said about pressures being car/setup specific.

On the 350 STU car we have 275s mounted on 11" wheels with -4° camber, so obviously a different situation compared to the same tire...

Why Michelin PSS?

There are better tires for cheaper than those. Hankooks, BFGs, Bridgestones...

Hankook RS3s in 275/35/18 are $245 on TireRack, just get 4 of those.

The 140 version of the tire wasn't previously allowed by "these" rules, it was allowed by the old rules, so I don't think 13.3.B.5 applies.

Also, I believe the consensus is that there was a...

I set my shocks sometime last summer for the last time and have driven on them that way ever since. They're really not that bad on the street, I've probably put 8k miles on the car since then.
