Exactly what I paid him to do.

Works for me, wild man. You better bring your A game... you have your work cut out for you with me. My problem is mostly getting my head straight.

Confirmed. That'll be perfect. Globe will be getting the bar setup in the garage when we come in.

Mike - what tire size are you going to run with the Nitto's, guessing 275 rear. I am interested in how your car responded with them. Also, were did you order them from? Been thinking about trying a set.

David,

I went 245/275 with the Nitto's. That's down from 245/285 that I was running previously. That combination had a mismatch in circumference any way, so I needed to change. I don't expect the smaller rear footprint to cause too much trouble, but we'll see. I bought the tires from discount tire direct. A very attractive price. I'm going to be interested to see how my lap times respond.

Thanks, I'll check with you at TWS to see how the Nitto's respond.
