you think THAT's how a lobe or screw type supercharger compresses air?

I can tell without needing to compare them directly having driven so msmy boosted cars.

My point about All Seasin tires is that they are no longer no season tires as we used to call them. They are now so good they work very well as summer tires. In real world street driving these new all season tires are better than higher performance summer only tires because they do not need to warm up to be effective. To warm up your expensive

Wow, no wonder you are posting nonsensical crap in here.

p.s. Just so you know and can consider yourself informed, a twin screw or lobe type supercharger compresses air by forcing air into the tighter spaces created as the screws or lobes come together from the larger space where the air is brought into the supercharger, the amount of space where the engine takes in the air has NOTHING to do with the compression of the air. This is also why it is a positive displacement supercharger, because while the increased RPMs will flow more air, it doesn't change the pressure ratio as much as say a centrifugal compressor because it's based on the differential between the space between lobes/screws when apart where the air comes in and when together where the air is compressed.
