Booked an appointment to finally get the rest of my roll cage complete. Adding to the already 4 point to a 2 point towards the front (obvious 6 point) with Nascar style door sides.

drove in freezing temps for the first time this morning. 27 degrees = wheel spin on a normal freeway onramp "launch". i thought driving for 5 miles wouldve warmed the tires up enough, but nope! took off like i normally do for a highway and didnt move for a good second or two haha

i run the yoks on my nismo wheels. but my car is hibernating. i dont drive my Z in cold weather.
nah, i burnt through the stock yok's in 15k. i'm on extreme DW (at the wear bars). the end of this tire is horrible. grip is just becoming non existent. but they have served me a good 20k+ miles.

and yea, no snow in california, just occasional below freezing weather. 27 this morning, 50 degrees by mid-day

once the correct weds get delivered, ill be on RE-11's

ahhhh. ic. i run DW's on my weds. they work fairly well and light weight, but i prefer S04's for sure. @ RE11's. that's probably wat i will wrap my nismo's with next time around.
