So, the new M/Ts performed very well at VIR, no chunking and they are obviously a very stiff sidewall. The scrub line was coming nowhere close to the little triangle indicator even going out cold at 32 PSI. They would get up to about 40 PSI by the end of a session in the afternoon. The grip was good, but i'm sure a better tire would grip better, the best part I think is that they certainly won't be wearing out the shoulders and the large shoulder blocks preventing any major feathering on the outside edge.

I was pleased with them and interested to try them out on autocross now, I also installed a new 1LE rear sway bar which is a move from 23mm to 28mm, plus it's also mounted outboard of the springs instead of inboard. This seems to have eliminated understeer pretty much combined with the 275 square setup. Especially excited to see how the sway bar helps out on autocross, I think it should be more noticeable there than on track.

You still won't beat me, I don't even know why you try.

What!? Everybody knows buying more parts brings your times down! You sir do not know how this whole car thing works! They simply need more and better parts and the times magically drop!

Keep in mind both of them are slower than Rodger in Duff Beer. Video in another thread proves it.
