Be afraid... be very afraid of Greg...

Sadly, no 16" tires. Gotta set up to 17s if you want the good rubber, apparently.

Goodyear makes plenty of "slick" tires in 16" size. They will help you to go VERY fast.

Any recommendations on Compounds and sizes for a 2650# (+driver) 911? Running 7/8 x 16's? And, more importantly, how much additional stress on my oil pump can I expect as I pull 2-3 g's of cornering :P

No. I'm not scary. Maybe if you're in the passenger seat.

When you see the white dragon, get your left hand ready. Remember, give passing signals early and often. Seeing that car come on boost in the rearview is something to behold.
