Paul,

What suspension settings does your car have? I'm entertaining using MPSC for practice tires (save $), but I'm afraid that my suspension is too agressive. I bet our setups are very similar, as well as the cars themselves.

Danny,

The difference is amazing. I traded cars during a DE for a friend of mine's RS America. He couldn't believe the turn in compared to his car (similar weight). I couldn't believe how much understeer his car had especially in the carousel and up turn 7 (scary place for understeer as it is an uphill offcamber turn). He changed out his suspension to Motons after that event.

Thanks. It's one way to keep the tires hot. I still need to get comfortable with letting go of the steering wheel completely when the back end goes.

That TT is incredible considering it was on Toyo's (the spec tire). He was going to switch to slicks but only did it for the enduro. He is one of the reasons I'm thinking about trying the Toyo's. BTW, they run them at 2.0 bar hot!!!! That's 29-30 psi hot!!!!

That track is our homegrown country club. They are about to add another 1.4 miles to it by September. Should be a blast.

Kevin, you won't like them. You've had the best drug in the world, slicks. Going back to R compounds will only depress you. I can't tell you how much I miss the slicks. I dream about them.

But then again, the price is right considering their longevity.

I dunno. Sure I miss the grip, but don't miss having a $275 tire last 2 days.
