    I hope everyone realizes that since Fuji lost the Formula One Grand Prix, they've needed some extreme methods to make money.

    Next weekend is A Team Van fest.

    oh you mean "activities" like drifting? BRILLIANT!

    Yep. The tire marketing world has aided in creating a sport that destroys tires that under normal conditions would last 20K miles.....in a matter of hours.

    Actually, i remember when Falken were running ads with VIPCARS, in the fine print, it said it is unsafe to drive with stretch tires. (And i actually like VIP cars)

    any type of modding has its expense. whether it be tires/wheels/parts/gas its all the same. its expensive to get these cars to sit like that, and stay in one piece. welding strut towers...

    i know u understand it all..

    yea the black ls430, and the white gs400, those tires were made for bigger cars. and they do stretch very well. but its obvious its not as safe as a normal fitting tires.

    A) I worked for Toyo and Yok for many years.....so yeah, kinda a tire expert.

    B) I can get an entire summer out of a set of tires on my cars. Drifters kill a set every two runs.

    80% of cars never see a track anyway....

    Im trying to understand your comment about tire wear..and you reply talking about lap times!

    there isnt any argument, just a simple discussion. i like all types of vehicles in all settings, some is appropriate, some is extreme. Im not debating opinions i never do, just speaking and responding. whats the problem..

    I like little camber with mildly stretched tires... But some go to far!!

    If you treat them like a time trial tire you can get quite a few laps, but its got to be 1 warm up lap, 1 hot lap, and 1 cool down lap. Otherwise they cook themselves...on a Subaru anyway. Thats the only thing I've tried it with.

    Try the R6's then...
    Last I checked the A6's were for autox (softer and lower temps).
    Hell I used R6's just to get more events out of them at the expense of a couple tenths.

    Do you have a really light car or something?

    THAT much camber yeah. Though, a little bit of camber is superb on the track. Coming from experience.

    IMO, remember, IMO! All those cars look retarded .
