Teutonic Posted 9January, 2020 Report Share Posted 9January, 2020 As above, yokie 050 is the way forward. The 295 is actually a 305 section tyre. Plenty wide enough. I stagger my compounds. Medium rear and soft front. But am a 1000kg aircooled car. Still tears through rears 50% faster than fronts. I run 28psi front and between that and 30 in the rear. The only thing faster will be hoosier A or R7’s or full slicks. edgy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I run this compound combo on the GT3 too... been through a few sets... the rears go first, every time! 16 hours ago, williamsf1 said: can anyone help me out? looking for 050 for a 997 GT3 whats the biggest I can go on an 18" I picked up some 18" OZ wheels for my A050's I run 235/40 R18 front with a 295/35 R18 rear You can get away with running the 295/30 R18 on the back too, but because the 997 came with a 19, I am told the 35 is the better aspect ratio to run... your rolling diameters need to be in check, you can cause yourself ABS ice mode if the rolling dia is not consistent front to rear.
