The Viper is quite a bit different from its previous autocross trim with the full factory ACR aero package, uprated springs, and a little extra power.<\/p>\n<p>Biggest change is away from Hoosiers and to the 300 treadwear Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Given how the 2019 One Lap is up north and early in the year, it&#8217;s likely to be cold and wet, so these should work well as a compromise. Not as fast as a storming 200TW autox tire in the dry, or as good as the Continental in the deep water, but good to great in a mix of conditions. They wore very little after a ton of hard laps, so should be able to make it through the week ok.<\/p>\n<p>The sucky part is they&#8217;re only available in Viper widths at 20&#8243; diameter, so had to get some new wheels.
