You are exactley right, Maintenance is the key. My car is Maintaned to the highest standards. I use Redline Synthetic 10/40 Oil. I used Mobile One Synthetic 10/30 for years, then switched, as a race buddy recommended the Redline. I have over 94,000 miles and it's still going strong. I'm Racing at the Q tomorrow and Sunday, can't wait.
Good eye, I'm running 225/50/15 Khumo 710's, killer grip... I just bought a new set and should have them mounted and balanced mid next week. The next event isn't until July - Bummer... I guess they'll sit mounted on the wall in their storage bags until then...
How do you like the Falken's? I just bought the FK452 for the street. I run 225/45/16 with SSR wheels. I had the Toyo T1R's, which I'm replacing. They are a good tire but are twice the cost of other tires in class, such as the Falken FK452. An independant test showed the Falken at the top of the class...
I'm racing tomorrow so I'll post some pic's tomorrow evening.
I made a review about them under the Product Review forum but I'm really liking them. I realize these are UHP All Seasons but I don't have any complaints or problems with them, they seem like a great tire especially for the money.
FK452 has a great reputation for high performance, I've seen them running on GTR's on Nurburgring
For the money I'd guess the FK452 is the best value and probably gives you all the performance you need.
very very well planned out Looking forward to the final product. I would LOVE to do this, but cost is high I can imagine. If I can ask... care to throw out an idea on cost?
