Ended up not going. It’s a co-workers car so I’ll get a chance later. I could never justify it, one of the reasons I like the twins is they are easy to replace. Just curious how it benchmarks.

A bicycle pump costs much less than a set of tires or a new turbo.

Haha these last longer than that :P.

I think my last set lasted somewhere around 18-20k but had a good mix of daily driving and hard driving so it seemed a decent range.

I don't have an issue pumping (lol)! I just haven't been driving nearly as often because I work from home now, so I'm needing to check tires and things less often than normal. I do have a gauge all the time in my glove compartment though, so usually I keep an eye on the current pressure with that.

I've been lax about pressures recently too.

The irony of SCCA drivers all having to wear masks for interviews, and then all the guys jumping in the winners car for a parade lap.


At least they don't have to wear a mask while racing (I'd hope)..

I was just doing the math based on you saying they only lasted 1/3 the time the should, but i figured you didn't mean it literally.

If I had to buy tires even every 18 to 20K miles I would go broke (ok, not literally). That would be once every 10 months or so for me.

Yeah was probably exaggerating a bit. I do use high performance summers, the Continental ExtremeContact Sports. But they have pretty good TW ratings.

I think my first set lasted 14 months, so not that bad altogether.

Any math expert here know the distance of the “?” Part?

Is rectangle.
Top/bottom length is 0.125”
Both side is 2.5”

I tried to find some online calculator... but all I found was right triangle & other that doesn’t work w this math.

There's probably some calculation to do it but given the size I would just draw it to scale and measure it.

I guess it's possible... just width is 1/8", so it just make a hassle to measure. That was the sole reason why didn't measure.

Maybe I need to search app to see if there's any calculator in the app store.
