Wheels and Tires for AutoX

2011 Nismo#91, the Hankook Ventus RS3 is a tire. And something tells me we should all be listening to what stuy486 has to say about driving/setup of the car :

Competed in novice today (26 drivers), finished 2nd. .907 behind (pax). The kid that finished 1st is a really good driver and has a lot of experience (cart, rally cross) and in the previous event I've had been 4-5 seconds (pax) behind him. Except for the event in Birmingham last week were I did not run novice, I've finished 5th (novice) in the previous 2 local events. All the same guys again today and took second.

I felt amazing to have traction and for the car to actually turn and go where I wanted it to. Now I have to learn to stay off the brake and just drive.

Nick does throw that Miata around well, I should have a 370 set up within the next month or so and hopefully be at the Pelham event in September if you want to exchange some setup tips, Pelham is tough now that they sealed it, very slick
