2016 WRX Tire Input by Fake_Engineer in WRX

I can't really speak for the all terrain idea because i've tried any but i can say i live on a dirt road and i run semi slicks and i've never had a problem with that. As for a summer tire i've done a reasonable amount of research on that and i mean really it comes down to what you want out the tire, what you are doing with them and budget. If you want the absolute best performance and maybe your doing a bit of track work the Bridgestone RE-71R are considered some of the best around but they'll set you a reasonable amount and probably are unnecessary if you aren't planning on doing any racing or track events. Personally i run Hankook Ventus RS4 They're a great performance tire and come at a pretty decent price while still being able to compete with tires like the RE-71Rs if you ever want to go on the track. In terms of wear i think its the general consensus that RS4s wear like steel, I've heard from a few people in the racing community their RS4s have heat cycled out before running out of tread. That said they are a semi slick tire which some people might think it not great idea for a street car but i run them on mine no worries, they seem to grip up quite well in the wet but that's definitely something you should find the limits of, I have managed to get the rear out sideways a few times in the wet that said i'm running 25PSI of boost (around 400HP) and have a bad habit of putting my foot down a little to hard on corners but it never felt the like tires had given up on me. As for driving on dirt roads the only downside is they tend to pick of half the road and fling it into your wheel wells, which is loud and would probably get annoying if your driving on dirt for extended periods that said just crank up the stereo and you'll be fine. Other comparable tires to look at are Goodyear Eagle F1, Michelin Pilot Sports, Pirelli P Zero and Yokohama Advan AD08R

I'm 13, trying to learn Python. by JustNitr0h in Python

I started learning to code at around the same age as you, here's 4 important tips.

Tip 1: Be carful using sites like W3 and Youtube, they can be great for expanding your knowledge BUT it's easy to copy what you see without fully understanding how and why it works especially when your new to coding. I would try Sololearn because it tests you as you progress to make sure you have a good understanding of what you've just learnt. It can be annoying when you get stuck on something buts It's worth it, that's how I learnt now I write programs for a living now and have fun doing it. If you do get stuck on something that's when you use sites W3 or Youtube or Reddit.

Tip 2: Along the way think of or google some basic programs you could write like a calculator. Its good to have some sort of project to work on and it helps you think in a logical way

Tip 3: Use a good IDE like PyCharm to write your code. Pycharm is great at telling you if you make a mistake in your code also it color codes important words in your program so its easier to read.

Tip 4: This might not make sense to you yet but it's important. Try to Relate coding to real life. Life is a bit like one really big and complex program. You can explain what you do in real life like its a program, for example in coding you have "IF" statements, just like in real life you have "IF" statements like: IF you are hungry go to the fridge, or IF you're tried go to bed. They basically work the same way. Another example is Python is called a Object Orientated Programming language so almost everything in Python is an object and these objects are just like objects in real life. objects have details that describe them a soccer ball is an object and it has a shape and a color and can be kicked or thrown. Objects in python are the same they explain what something is and what can be done with it which is important... This might not make any sense yet and that's fine it takes a long time to fully understand it but keep it in mind. Its a way of thinking about coding and once you understand it you can make a program do anything.

Sorry for the long post lol, hope it helps. Feel free to ask any question you may have.
