Ha ha! Looking at the way the racer takes the corners, I'm sure any tire will be cooked in no time!

I love the SP Sport 8000 tire and just bought some more. Tirerack now sells them for $118 which is a downright steal.

Dunlop SP Sport 8000



However, I really like the Potenza S-03 pole position tires and would love to pick-up a set someday.

Oh that's MUCH better than my red 95 with the koni's on does on the track . First time I autoxed it I took a 1/4 inch off the outside corner of my A540s

Amen. I currently run about 40 psi front, 36 rear - and my tires still look pretty good even after all the canyon carving and skidpad stuff I did last weekend! (which is another thing I like about the SP Sport 8000 - they have a reinforced sidewall to reduce flex in high g cornering)

50, 47? I could run the Dragon for weeks with what I'd take off in one autox on street tires. Buicks just aren't made for autoxing.

Yeah Bill, what are your magic tire pressures when you autoX?

There is no magic pressure. It'll change by temp, weather, humidity, track surface, course set up, course distance, the tires you are running plus about 100 other factors. Bill simply plugs 'em into his rocket computer and out comes what he should run
