Default Track setup comparison (stock vs 18" setup)

So, following some of the others here I have decided on an 18" wheel for a track setup. I figured I'd start with the back and put some DR on, then, come spring time I'll get the fronts and put a track setup on. I'll update this as I go along, but I thought it worth a post to let you see the weight savings going with the setup vs stock

Stock
335/25/20 - PSS
67.4lbs

18" TSW Interlagos
315/35/18 - Toyo Proxes TQ
55.2lbs


It's a 12.2lbs saving per, rear, corner with this new setup Overall height is almost identical at 26.75", but the width is going to be those 20mm narrower

The Toyo Proxes TQ is advertised by Toyo as a drag radial. I doubt it will be a hit with most of the guys who drive the twisties.

You're correct. This is a "drag" track setup. A "road" track setup will be to follow.
