Then again, you can't brag about tires as much as a stiffer bar increases your manhood.
Well said, Brother Ben!

p.s. and yes, it is possible to "over drive" R comp tires, especially if you don't have a sprayer to cool them down between runs ;-)
p.p.s and this is what happens if you go with too much bar on the rear (yes, I moved the end links back to the 'stock' location after this event...)
