    How cool is it to work for LMR - the company you work for will be involved in your HPDE event. Not a bad place to work.

    So you're running hots of 32, which means colds are 23-ish. If anything, these seem on the high side. 40-42 psi in a racing tire seems ridiculously high. I've heard fairy tails of street-type tires wanting big pressures here or there over the... (see full post)

    Not sure I agree with a few months old. It is a bit hard to see in the picture but I believe the mold date code of the tire appears to be "0123" which would be the first week of year 2023. That would indicate the tires were a couple years old... (see full post)

    Are you saying you're in because you signed up for the event, or because you're interested in the tires? (see full post)

    This is for another fellows car.. He is mostly in time trials and have not seen him race. For my boss, I found the sweet spot for tire wear vs performance was 32 front/30 rear. But AWD and loads of torque is going to be a different animal.

    If height isnt taken into account then all of those I mentioned should be fine then. My 9LR barely sticks past the end of the bumper. (see full post)
