I felt I should post a quick note about Luke Pavlik , my go to Tire Sensei for the past 23 years at Tire Rack. After hearing a second time that Luke has retired , I felt I should drop a quick note on the Forum to let everyone know Luke may be tired , selling tires all day long, talking tires, recommending tires, but......................he has not retired!! I have relied on Luke for advice and knowledge for all 23 years he has been at Tire Rack and the reasons are simple for all on this Forum to understand;
1. He is a Trackrat, both autocross and on road courses!
2. He keeps up on all the new rubber , compound changes and more , because he is frankly as sick as we all are about destroying asphalt , cement , or cones !
3. He is really the only true Racer with the Rack!
4. He will listen and shoot you straight on what is right for your car.
5. He is friends with all the Sales Managers of the major tire companies.
Luke is strictly Retail now, as he was one of their large Wholesale Producers, but he got so many customers who wanted to get the straight scoop from him he went to the retail side some years back --- that is good for all of us.

He is a great and honest friend and I felt I needed to clear things up that he is still hustling sticky rubber donuts to the Concrete crushing crowd!
