Cup 2 Connects (20 Comp 666 Wheels)

Anyone try out the CUP 2 Connect for Competition 666 Wheels

If you have any Pros and Cons I would like to hear it.
Thanks

Went to Willow Springs with the "CUP 2 Connect" Tires. I did 110 Laps (250+ miles) and the tires held up great. My lap times were 1;35's to 1:50's depending on if I had to wait to pass. The tires held up great. No side wall shredding or any other issues. Still some decent tread left, maybe 50%. Glad I came home with some tire tread as I didn't want it to be a $2,000 weekend and have to buy new tires on Monday.

Fronts wore just fine. Ill post some photos of before and after of the left front. I was having issues with the Pilot Super Sports front tires chunking but these new CUP 2 Connects had no chunking and performed excellent. I was running in the 1;40's -1;50's most of the time (Hitting 125-134mph at the end of the front straight and entering turn 8 at 120mph). I was not the fastest on the track but I was happy after day 2 when I looked at the tires and saw they were in great shape. Ran tires pressure at 31psi and they heated up to 37psi during the runs. The heat was 140 on the edges and 138 in the middle of the tire so I think I had the correct psi for my runs as the heat was distributed pretty evenly across the tires.

Totally stock no camber plates. My most recent alignment could only get 1.5 camber

I've been curious about these 250 mi running decent lap times is pretty good for 50% life.

Not many options for the 666 20 inch wheels, but these new "Cup 2 Connect" wheels seems to be a good option for OEM wheel size.
