Luke @ Tirerack, thanks for everything today! Great to see you again and yes, they all fit
in the back of the car. (8 tires!) I'll let you know how the new wheel/tire set up works as I'll be flogging them at Gingerman tomorrow!!!

Kosei K1-TS wheels with Pilot Sport Cups. Then I picked up a set of the OEM Goodyear F1's
for the OEM rims if I needed to run in the rain.
It lightened the load considerably!
Are you running 18's still or did you go down to 17's on your wheels?

Once they warm up, WOW! But.......
They are scary slippery when cold and the track is cold. These tires, once heated up, grip like nothing I've ever felt. They must have been overinflated from the installer though as once heated up, they were over 42 PSI. I remember what you said about keeping them at or around 36 PSI when hot and they were much better.
I also lost one of the Kosei center caps. Your guys were having a helluva time installing them and one flew off today. Go figure. They only get in the way anyway. I'll just remove the rest of them.

Pffft.... You didn't see me sideways....
2nd lap with the new car, new tires & cold as heck track.
I start my turn-in going into 9 and the rear end snaps around. Bit of a pucker factor.
Gonna dial it back a notch on Sat/Sun.

I did see you do the nice 270 behind me though. Shame on you for trying to make it tough on me.
That's what you get pushing me into turn 1. I also saw the 5 pounds of grass and dirt making turn 8 (?) an agricultural experience for everyone on the track. I also saw you put it sideways right in front of me when you took that guy for a ride-a-long. (Does your car come with a roll of toilet paper as well?) And I did see you spinning the rubber off your back right wheel coming out of turn two and the turn right before the back straight.
I'd say that car is going to be quite the learning experience for you! (At least you didn't have someone get car sick on you!)
