LuvSpeed Report post Posted November 11, 2018 I signed up for One Lap of America next year. Will be driving my Performante. I have a couple of questions for the guys who track the perf. First, can you go up in tire size for the fronts? The OEM front tire seems small at 245 / 30 / 20. Can you go up in size both front and back and still keep same ratio without screwing up traction control. Second, I may need to perform a brake pad change during the week. Does anybody run something other than OEM pads? https://www.onelapofamerica.com/currentEvent/EntrantsList.do?eventId=39 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructo Report post Posted November 13, 2018 Strongly consider upgrading your brake fluid. I dont recall off the top of my head what the Perf. is equipped with stock, but a good thing to make sure you don't boil off on the track.

LuvSpeed Report post Posted November 14, 2018 Agree. I plan on getting the car serviced the week prior. Part of the servicing plan will be brake fluid upgrade to Lambo racing specs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smash Boy Report post Posted November 16, 2018 Just now, Smash Boy said: Don't think bigger front tires should be a high priority. They're typically more useful in front engine cars, but mid engine AWD, not as critical IMHO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LamboCharlotte Report post Posted December 19, 2018 Castrol SRF is what the factory uses for track testing/events. It's fantastic stuff and can be sourced pretty easily. I'd personally recommend Amazon. If I recall, I believe it goes for around $60-$70/bottle? What are you trying to accomplish by running a larger width front tire? Personally, if you're looking for better grip, I'd recommend upgrading to a set of the PZero Trofeo R and a slightly more aggressive alignment. The feedback I've gotten from customers who have run the Trofeo R on track is nothing short of amazing. The factory does not recommend deviating from the stock wheel/tire size configuration due to potential issues with the AWD system.
