The problem with the stock pad rear setup is that the Z cars have a lot of rear bias, I think the pads will overheat quickly if you do that. The solution is a low bite but high temperature resistance pad I think.
I only ran with the V12's for my first event. I didn't have any complaints.

I have a set of Starspec's now, which I'll be using for the first time in a couple of weeks.

The StarSpec should be a world better than the V12s.

No doubt. The star specs are an amazing tire. I wish they made them in bigger sizes though.

Yeah, I'm sure. I took them out for a quick test drive this weekend, and they felt really good. I really liked running a square setup too, felt very precise.

Now hopefully I can somehow manage to avoid ice mode again.
