Any suggestions for carrying the tires

[CAOZKAN]

I'm planning to make a euro trip where I stop by hungaroring, Red Bull ring and Nurburgring and come back to Istanbul. But I forgot that i will need my track tires for this trip. I will have my PSS on for trip. I need to have place for 265/285 35 19 PSC2s and two PSS 295 35 19 just to burn on drifting. I really appreciate every feasible idea. Bare in mind that my car has a CF roof so I think over the roof isn't an option. I want to add I will also need space for two medium luggages.

People are fitting 3 tires in the back seats and 1 tire (all 19'') with tools and belonging in the trunk. There is still the front passenger seat to put all the other things if you are traveling alone.

Exactly: fold rear seats, and you can stack 2 sets of wheels over the folded (and thereby protected) rear seats. You may need to move the front seat forward a bit, which is not a problem with the passenger side seat.

Alternatively, put 2 stacked wheels over rear passenger side seat, and 1 (at an angle) over the rear driver side seat. Then the 4th wheel goes in the trunk, with plenty of room to spare for jack, tools, and supplies.

Either way, your biggest challenge will be keeping all the tools in the trunk from rolling around, clunking, and banging .

I go with option #2, as I like to preserve my favorite sitting position for the trip to the track without compromises.

This is a long euro trip with 6k km to cover and there will be a passenger as well. It seems like best case scenario is to fit four tires but not 6 seems like fitting on my cup2s and carrying additional PSS rears just for drifting is my only option. Do you think one set of psc2 can cover three full track days?

I think the best option for a trip like that is a small travel trailer, and having the hidden hitch installed on your car. Here's a quick pick I found from google which shows what I'm talking about. You see these at the track all the time.

I have done my other set in the car. In the E90 I put 4 across the back seat (seats up) but had bungees to hold the tires from being loose by attaching them to the headrest posts but the f80 doe not have that option. I am interested to hear what options f80 owners have done

It never even crossed my mind that you considered taking 6 spare wheels+tires, not 4. 4 spare track or street tires has always been the norm for me.

Full treads - yes, they should.
Also depends on how smooth you are, but if they are a square setup that you can rotate - then definitely yes.

Three tires in the back seat, one in the trunk has been my method so far.

Buy yourself one of these sets of Tire Totes to keep your interior clean.



Got Two sets of these on Amazon for easy transporting and storage.

No wheels just tires, but think about it, I will be on the road for a long trip that's why I wanted my daily pss, for track psc2s and for drifting pss because they're not pricey and I already have two sets of rears. I know this is expecting too much, so I think I will just go ahead and use psc2 for the trip&track and take two pss for burning if the psc2s get over earlier, than I will find replacements along the way hopefully.

PS: I'm running staggered 265/285 setup for psc2. I think they shouldn't be hard to find around these tracks.

More power to you! First time hearing PSC2s are not pricey from someone

Not sure the inventory situation in EU, but these PSC2 are low in inventory and are hard to come by in some areas over here.

You may want to check inventory of these tires along your route just to have it covered.

Have fun!

Thanks a lot, I said "and for drifting pss because they're not pricey"
