tire transport options

[michael lang]

Last season was the first season that I had a set of dedicated track tires for my car. Albeit they are only R888, I still only had them on the car when I was using it on the track or driving it the 40 mins from my house to SPR and back home again. I really didn't think I would be burning up my tires but this season I will be getting alot more in the way of track time and I will be visiting other tracks as well and don't want to use up my track tires getting to & from VIR, NJ or Pocono. The other thing is I really don't have the storage facility to house a trailer and my HOA hammers people with letters and various other forms of harrasment who park trailers in their driveway.

So I'm left with really only one option, putting my tires in or on top of my car during transport. In won't work because there just isn't the space so it will have to be on top of. What type of roof rack system should I be looking for that will be strong enough for a set of tires and not damage to body of my car? I have seen the basket type mounted to 911's but never thought at the time to look into it. Thanks for any suggestion you can offer.
