why do tires lose grip when you burn up all the tread?
 

Is it a different compound or something when you run out of tread? I wanted to get one more track day out of these shitty tires, but they feel really slick suddenly.

Any logic to this, or am I dumb? I have kumho ecsta 711's.

each time a tire heats and cools it hardens the rubber. worn tires have gone through many heat cycles. hard rubber doesn't grip.

cool. Ordering rubber now.

And...what are you getting?

hopefully a turbo kit made of rubber.

Good one!:bigtu:

I light of the last thread I thought I had to. Seriously though, I'm just fucking around. I understand his reluctance to plop down that much cash at once. I think he will see the light soon enough.

Flying miata's new kit?
Seeing how the IC piping is all silicone.

probably azenis for my 14's.

I am still trying to find a 1.8 too...and every penny of that should be going on student loans.

:gay:

There should be no excuses now. $700 for engine, tranny and rear end.

Thank god for Aunt Sallie :) Just be careful... she'll fuck you when you try to get your first mortgage.
