Indeed, it won't warm up here until at least mid April. But I'll have my summer tires back on before then, have my first track day planned in early April.

I don't want to park my car during winter, so winter tires are "the way to roll". And the salt, well, just wash the car often and it shouldn't be a problem. Oh and to keep the front looking good with all the crap on the road I got a clear bra.

Early April?? By chance is that the ABCC event with the Audi Club?
