My first track day, I didn’t really believe these tires would get sticky at the track. I was wrong. Quite sticky to the touch.

I’ll edit GoPro footage down to a single lap next week sometime and post it. My son and I had an amazing time and met some fantastic people.

    Don’t cheap out between you and the ground. Beds, shoes, tires all apply.

    I recently got some Michelin CrossClimate 2s on my commuter, and while a bit rough on the road, I subjectively felt improvement in control and it performs very well in wet conditions common to my location where I often drive miles in standing water.

      Totally agree! A good set of tires makes the whole difference on a vehicle.

      A few winters ago some friends and my wife and I all went up in the winter to a cabin all with equally capable vehicles. We spent a good bit on tires for it and they all used their all weather/summer tires. Our SUV didn’t flinch, they struggled and one got stuck multiple times.

      This is a good way to ruin your engine.
