"Tested" my new tires on the Autocross course today. Bottom line - they're keepers!

Some observations:

- Today was also the first time I had the tires "at highway speed" (I-25). Noticed a very slight vibration in the steering wheel at times. Not sure if it's a balance problem, or just a result of the stiffer sidewalls. Will keep an eye on this...

- On the course, these tires are a significant improvement over the "stock" Dunlop 8080s. The roadster's inherent push is greatly subdued. Still have some work to do with tire pressures(F45, R35 today), but I'm really pleased with today's results (placed third in Super Stock, 3/10s behind second place!)

If your willing to give up a little comfort for maximum performance in aggressive driving conditions, take a look at the g-force T/As ... -Arnie
