Yeah but a lot of people seem to give good reviews about them for street use. I believe there are much much better track tires than the MPSS. With that being said I have MPSS on my car now and when they wear out I want to try some hankook rs3's or Nitto nt05

Shell Vpower 91 octane or cheap-ass brand 93 octane?

As a worker in the oil refinery business there isn't much difference between most gas stations in regards to quality of the gas. There are chances of getting a bad batch of gas from anywhere.

why the drag radials? NT01's seem more suited to the FRS with stiffer sidewalls and designed for circuit racing

Shell way overcharges for premium (at least here) so I'd buy virtually anything else. Last time I checked shell vpower was a $0.60 premium over regular gas, while everyone else was charging a $0.40 premium for premium.

do you mean why not drag radials?

NT05's are typically a more street friendly tire while NT01's are more suited for track.

Logs will give the answer. I don't sweat ±5 hp. Not that guy.

Drag radials have a much softer sidewall so they can flex under hard acceleration when you are putting down 500WHP and that means they are less responsive in the corners

I know arco isn't horribly bad.. and exxon is actually pretty decent for prices.

If you want cheap gas go to safeway.

I think a lot of us who post in random have seen that answer so many times, that it's assumed that we know.

My stockers are toast. I have another set mounted in my garage but I'm starting to look at options.

I'm afraid of losing that go-kart happiness though. Ultimate grip? Meh.
