i figured alot of people would have them. bf goodrich marketed them straight to the younger crowd as an aggressive tire for a cheap price. i know that it performs. but to me i think it is a sucky tire. more for drifting maybe. and srt4s
im kinda leaning towards the dunlops

dunlops for sure. a lot of the guys in the milwaukee area are running them at autox.

well after a night of research.
the dunlops are better for tracking and some daily driving
the potenzas are better for dding and occasional auto-x
ill risk the faster tread wear and get the dunlops

why dont you just run the steelies dd? and autox the rims? Thats what i have to do right now before i can get another set of rims for dd

daily drive my steelies??? you must be crazy. i cant hide my beautiful rims!
what i plan is to dd the grams and race the steelies until i find a cheap set of new lighter wheels to race with.
im just racing with the grams this one time to see how the tires handle

I wish i could dd my rims, the azenis have terrible tread wear... Wouldn't even last till the end of summer i bet

im nervous with these tires. they look like they will go down faaast.
so im going to drive it a bit less during the week.
stambo what class do you run in?
DIREZZZZZAAAS!!!!!
made a new air box. still needs some fine tuning. double layer aluminum hollow core that channels the heat out the side of the hood.

so far i like them and ive only driven them back to the house from the shop lol
ill have to get some update pics on the box.
i really screwed myself over because i was halfway through and thought to myself....wait....how am i going to access the filter!
it was too late but the batteryside and the fender side of the box are open. i wanted them to be closed but i had to have someway to get to the filter.
in the near future i want to build another and have a hinge on top where i can open the box.

Just judging by the times, it looks like christine was just giving er' before she even got to know the course, and all your times are getting lowered by a second or even a few seconds as you began to figure out the track and find where you can drop sometime.
You have any videos of the event?
