So it looks like I will be acquiring some 987.2 Cayman S (II) wheels which are are 8x18 (57mm offset) and 9x18 (43mm) offset. It looks like the tire size for 987.2s was 235/40 and 265/40. Since I have a 981 Boxster S I plan to run 235/45 and 265/45 which were the factory 18" sizes on 981 wheels. I want to stay as close to the factory diameter as possible so everything runs as it should.
For reference I am an occasional DE driver in Blue, I think I'm reasonably quick but driver skill is I am working on, I'm not looking for a tire to make me faster - I just want one that will hold up and is durable and provides consistent performance.
Looking for feedback on that plan for rim/tire size and also on these tire options from TireRack.
My thought is the RE-71R which comes to $900 for the set.
Does anyone have an opinion on Potenza S-04 Pole Positions for track days?
Is there any other tire options, configurations or any other recommendations?
