Do you not bring both sets of tires with you to the track?It is no problem fitting 4 track wheels & tires & gear in an M.

My jack and tools are not with me. They are in Burlington.

I am coming on AD08s. Should be ok with the small amount of rain they expect

STALKER · 04-22-2011, 04:32 PM

I decided to run my 19s with my PS2s. Better safe then sorry if it rains and stays cool.

MaxL,
What colour is your car? I'll look out for you.

MaxL · 04-22-2011, 05:39 PM

Jet black 4-door. Last time it was one of 4 JB 4-doors, so it is not very distinctive.

I had bad experience running PS2s in changing weather last October in Mont Tremblant - they are sensitive to tire pressure and track temp more than tires with stiffer sidewalls, and roll if underinflated (or cooled down by sudden rain) and get greasy if overinflated (or when track dries out quickly). I was sharing my car, so I sometimes could not adjust pressure for 2-3 sessions, and it made difference on these tires.

By the way, here is a link to hourly weather forecast - they say it should stop raining around 9am (would be great): http://www.theweathernetwork.com/hou...link_st_hourly

I wish I threw on my track rims, but its all good.
I'll just watch the pressure on the PS2s.

It was nice to see you and Al there too. It was an awesome day. Anna had a blast, and her instructor convinced her she was doing great. We'll see where it goes from here.
