Then why did you bring it to a 1/4 track? You road race an auto but don't care about the 1/4? Lol

It was the IRS shootout at Darlington. I'm not going to drive that far and not race.

That was my 2nd time out since I put the new motor in it; first time was at Dorchester and I wasn't happy with my times at all. I normally go out once or twice a year.

Just got mine mounted today. Was pleased with them on my RS4 but then again never took them to any proving grounds.

I put 4k miles on the set on my cobalt... The only time they got too hot was when i was over driving the car... and then they had breakaway characteristics similar to an R-Compound...

side by side on two cars at the track the SS will uberpwn the RE11's lap times...

I've been thinking about upgrading the ///Mslow tires to NT05s...right now it has Pilot Sport A/S which I doubt will be that good at an autox.

I got nt05's on Camaro. Theyre great for the price, but just ok when compared to the GTO's suoer sports.

Price is a major factor..otherwise I'd probably get Thooper Thports for all my DD vehicles lol

I may try a set of BFG Rival's on the Camaro next. Gonna have to step up to a Miker sized 18 in dub, nobody makes jack shit in a 17 anymore wider than a 245 except the nitto/toyo stuff.

I've seen 3 sets of rivals have very bad tread splice splitting. STAY AWAY.

It is also worth noting when I was at the Michelin Proving Grounds I was told the rivals use the same compound of rubber as the Super Sports. BFGoodrich and Michelin are the same company.

I've got BFG's.

GreebeanZ28 · 06-13-2013, 04:07 PM

Gonna put on some Rivals and come Monaro hunting.
