This is a much more mellow and helpful place than many Forums on Facebook, but it is also a great resource like a library. Folks here are very willing to assist, and as Trackrats and Conekillers we have found this is the place to find what the current hot ticket is, and since info comes from all over you often get a tip here before your competitors do.

Good example would be that after 2 solid years of being the top dog at autocrosses, the Yoko A-052 may be seeing the return of the King --- the new Bridgerock RE71RS. TMO member DaveW tested both A052s and RE71RSs at the last Solo National Tour in Moultrie, Ga. and after the Friday practice he decided to go with the Bridgestones. He not only conquered CAMC, he took the overall win in the PAX index -----------hmmmm. Those are the kinds of items you find here, showing that 2023 may be seeing a change in what is the hot ticket. As a driver who ran Yokes back in the 80s, and happened to get a compound change for Nationals , it is well known that tire wars just breed more competition and design. Nice to get early info for track and autocross and TMO has plenty of serious folks who share this info. We may be competitive, but we want our fellow Mustang drivers to have an edge over those guys with Bowties, etc.

Tire Rack will usually have the most and freshest Competition and High Performance Rubber and they can direct you to one of their approved Installers. In fact they can send your tires to said Installer so you won't have to hassle with them. This can be a Dealership, a Garage, a Tire Company, and, of course , Discount Tire.

A great resource is Luke Pavlik ( ext #4362 ), long time friend and employee there, who is a Trackrat. He can give you very current views and help you pick what is best for your vehicle. Tell him to note you linked up from TMO.
