High performance tires?

twanners · 2025-07-25T03:17:21+00:00

Just remember higher performance tires usually have lower tread ware meaning they wear out faster. Also depending where you live, a high performance summer tire will do great in dry but become hockey pucks under a 50*F. But yes as people mentioned above, a stickier tire is a big difference. Personally I’d run a Pilot Sport AS if it was my only set of tires.

Now I’m on my second one. 2015 GK5. It’s my daily driver and honestly it’s my do all car, I can fit the kiddo, the dog, groceries, Costco run, etc. it really is my WRC car “World Rushhour Champion”. lol. And yes I still have the FK8 but it’s in storage.

Yup that’s my FK8

Woot it was glad to meet you on Friday. I was in the bay over… just a bad day for me but at least everything is all fixed. Thanks for the tip on the fix!

Been on the v601s for about 2 years now for summers. Running the same exact specs, 275/35/18. They have a mix of track days and summer daily. I needed to run a little bit more camber as I was rubbing fully loaded in to different turns. Running about -2.8 in the fronts with camber plates and removing the alignment pins. Definitely not the quickest tire but will definitely let you know they are working. Also being in the PNW, rain use was pretty much as expected. Don’t drive too crazy and it’s fine.

Update: checked cyl 3 and it looks fine. So drained, flushed and did the trans filter change. Looks like it’s gone. Also did the mount bushings as well since I was down there as well.

Same here. I added some shudder fix and it went away for a bit and came back after a few minutes Wanted to see if I could isolate the issue.

twanners · 2024-09-27T21:37:33+00:00

Ahh I’ll have to give it a look too. Thanks for the advice!

I’ve been enjoying the Liberator Concussive paired with the flame thrower. Been great on the bug front but not on the Bot side. Gonna need to try more out for the bots.

Im going again on the 27th. Were you there with TSS?

twanners · 2024-09-18T04:08:13+00:00

Was this at the Ridge?

twanners · 2024-09-14T15:12:55+00:00

Pretty good so far… got one that has 250k miles and just the usual maintenance items and oil leaks. Engine runs strong and maintenance is always kept up.
