New Wasteland Wa Topic

My wife drives like a granny when its wet and cold. When its hot shes a differnt animal. Drives my cars harder and faster than i do, i think she shoulda been a pro driver with her dry skills. She said it steered staight on through the apex of the rounderbout and was headed towards a power pole. I think she done well to only go up the curb then spin it onto the grass. Bumper is toast, left rear wheel as a bit of curb rash and the undertray is cracked but all else looks gd. Drives straigh as per normal and hooks up under power like it should. Now its down to the wife to want to get in a drive it again otherwise it mite be ready for upgrades

Continental extreme contact sport. It's a competitor to the michellin pilot sport 4s but available In sizes smaller than 19" unlike the michellin.

I'm no longer a fan of continental, I had sport contact 3 on the Audi when I got it within 12000km they were so bad I couldn't slow down without abs kicking in the super sports were amazing, like new after 20000km!!

There's generally a $$ difference too, You pay a premium for the michellins. the reason they perform so consistently is because they are dual layer, you effectively have two different layers of tread compound so they can engineer the compound of the outer layer for when it has lots of tread and then the inner layer for when the tyre has less tread so you don't get as much drop off in performance. Basically every other brand tyre has that drop in performance as they wear out, it just is what it is.

That's excluding the fact the super sports aren't really a direct competitor for the sport contact 3, they have different intended markets, ones a sporty family sedan tyre and the others not far removed from a semi slick, the extreme contact is aimed at the super sport/pilot sport 4s market and as far as testing I have seen goes, performance is very similar but at 3/4 the price.

Air powered nail guns were great toys as a kid. A friend of dad's was doing an extension to his house and we would go over to visit (being early primary school students at the time) and have great fun nailing anything we could find laying about together. The bigger gun that did the 75mm nails had some decent kick to it.

Im gonna go with a yokohams ad08r on the front and a medium/hard compound a050 on the rear. I dont intend to use it a huge ampunt on the road so semi slicks for track days are the go.
