Mike I currently don't have matching compounds front to rear so it is difficult to measure the balance. With all the changes I have made it got close but was still not there. The lesson I have learned is that FFR's have no business with a square tire setup. I think the 315F / 275R is a good place to start and then it can be balanced with spring, bars, shock settings, tire pressure, etc. I will have a 315/275 setup next year and should be able to finally enjoy a fairly neutral car.

Here is lap 5. I carried more speed on the front half and had a great lap going until I turned in too early and got off line. Helps to look ahead, but not too far ahead which is what I did here. This was not a driving error but a planning error. Hardest I have hit a cone in a while and only cone I caught all day.

I just put 315/275 NT-01's on my car and have been running them a lot closer to my street tire pressures, typically 25 back 23 front, and the car feels pretty nicely balanced. My pyrometer is on loan to another forum member at the moment so I will wait until next season before playing much with pressures. The lack of wear on the edge of the tread is indicating that lower pressures are probably warranted.
Mike............
FFR2100 - 331 with KB supercharger - T5 - 5 link rear 3.08's and T2 Torsen.
I was running 25 in the back but tried 28 on Sunday. I am not sure if that was better or not as it was very cold. Mike it is good to hear someone else is running the NT01. They wear fast but they hook up like no street tire can.
