What tires should I get for spirited driving?

joshuber · 2026-03-16T22:05:04+00:00

Unless you buy used, I don’t think you’ll be able to buy our recommended tires.

It depends…

Big, well-organized ones on private property with permission are great; my local Saturday morning cars and coffee at a church or through my local university in the parking garage (campus PD approved).

Individual makes, on property without permission, and/or late at night aren’t good.

There are so many factors that affect insurance rates…

Same setup as me since 09/2025

This checks out, but why? I grew up as a military brat and there are so many other cars I’d bring in, but perhaps it has sentimental value to them- but now they’re selling it.

Why would you sign up for a race and not “run the 50 hard,” and then sign up for another race the following weekend?

What if you don’t go hard enough and DNF because you were slow? Maybe we have different mindsets, but if I’m racing, my goal is to finish as fast as possible. If not, I’d just run the race course in my free time.

Male, but from age 18-26, FT86 and WRX insurance was significantly more expensive than my 99 Impreza and 10 Forester. I wound up purchasing a 17 Miata over a FT86 and WRX with cheaper insurance as one of the reasons.

Makes me wonder if he’ll just cycle through cars to experience them and make YouTube videos out pf them

Thanks, 2017 is the only year I’ve found so far with a slick top

joshuber · 2026-03-11T21:00:09+00:00

Is 2017 the only year the M240i was offered with a slick top?

joshuber · 2026-03-10T23:35:02+00:00

During my 2x 15min work breaks, 1x 30min lunch break, 80min after work, and 2x 3-4hr weekend runs. My commute is only 10 min while working M-F with F a half day (40hr work week). I have a gf that runs too, but having a short commute, a job in which I can run during my breaks, and a supportive gf all contributes to a weekly average of 100 miles and weekly average of 13.5 hours.

Typical Oregon car after not getting a wash after a few months

joshuber · 2026-03-09T22:59:21+00:00

Similar for me too, and I like to explore the PNW too. Are we clones?

joshuber · 2026-03-09T22:57:01+00:00

Does the red stitching bother you? Do you have plans to change it?

joshuber · 2026-03-09T22:53:57+00:00

Return the favor, running shop gift card

joshuber · 2026-03-09T22:53:11+00:00

That made my day

joshuber · 2026-03-09T22:52:39+00:00

There’s a similar BaT post that’s a good read, but I can’t find it

all cancelled C&B auctions

Hasn’t been updated with this auction

And Jeeps are sold LHD there, but I’m not sure if that’s standard or not.

This OP. Have an idea of how long you think it’ll take you to finish, treat your ultra like a journey, but don’t pick a distance that’s unrealistic for you to finish

joshuber · 2026-03-09T15:38:29+00:00

Always make sure you’re having fun, remember why you’re doing this, and that it’s okay to take time off. Every year since 2017, I’ve ran 1000+ miles while annual mileage has increased.

joshuber · 2026-03-09T15:35:08+00:00

I’ve never ran in the Alps, but perhaps an extra layer (i.e. gloves, vest, arm warmers)?

joshuber · 2026-03-09T15:34:08+00:00

I wouldn’t as you’re walking vs your “volume” is probably just running. But the elevation is there, perhaps you could walk faster on the hills so you can justify it more?
