Question about traction...

I still say that you need to check your tire pressures as well.

What type of tires are you looking at replacing these with anyway?

Here is a thought.

After you put the new springs on and lowered it 1 inch, did you get it aligned?

Lowering it will give you more negative camber. That means less contact patch on the road.

$.02

Oh okay so lol um yeah... Brandon the smart one

So with all that said... nevermind... I'll give'm a few more thousand and see if they break in any better well hopefully not cuz hope to have new tires before that![/b]

At that rate they'll be bald in a few thousand more miles.

Easy fix would be to get an MS6 ;-)

Good tires, what are they running as far as cost wise?

SpeedRacer · Postby **SpeedRacer** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 9:14

Hopefully nothing lol... working on dunlop sponsorship if that doesn't go over i'll work on bridgestone and go down the line.

Have you taken a look at the Falken Azenis?
It's probably the stickiest non-R comps tires you can get.
I dont recommend them in the snow tho.

SpeedRacer · Postby **SpeedRacer** » Fri Apr 18, 2008 9:14

The Bridgestone RE-01s are better than the Falkens. Looking at the top finishers in all the street tire classes at the SCCA Nationals last year, almost everyone is on the Bridgestones.

Good luck getting a sponsorship.
