What is that app where it says "POS 4?"

Was this some kind of competition?

Extra rubber, not blisters, took that pic when back in carpark, was surprised how sticky these got when heated up, how quick they fall off when they overheat....... between sessions I did not notice, no tell tale vibrations either, but you could hear slot of pickup hitting body work first hot lap so think that's where the rubbish was letting go when tyre heated up, there were 60 cars cycling through the sessions, so there was a bit of rubbish offline.

Temps today were 14 to 30 Celcius, went on track with all tyres at 32 psi, by end of first session lhf was 35, and I dropped too much pressure out and did not come on in 2nd session, but 3rd hit that magic number and was good all the way through......... I think the brake rotor temps has a lot to do with this, driving to track tyre pressure 32psi freeway driving

As for the brakes, at the end of each session they were smoking hot, even at a 30 degree ambient temp, best part was packed up, put some fuel in to get home, and battled freeway traffic all the way home, wouldn't even know it had been on the track all day.

But don't worry about those brakes, they are the bomb

I too was quite surprised the first time I got those PZ4 tires warm... sounded like I was driving on a gravel road... I think I was actually taking apart the chip seal road! (county roads around here)

You can easily pull one of your pads out and check the numbers .

Yep. I just have to buy a good floor jack. Install jacking rails or jack pads. I have jack stands already.

So, not so easily.

I had a great, heavy, 3.5 ton floor jack. I cut down a bunch of trees on my land, and I was using the floor jack to get the trees up off the ground for bucking. I guess those trees weighed more than 3.5 tons as my floor jack gave up the ghost . . . now I do not have a floor jack.

Just a timed track day event, there were 12 cars in session, think it means 4th on track, just gave each other enough room so not in each other's way on track, but each car is grouped in classes ie NA, turbo tuned, AWD, slick tyres and so on, so it might be a reference to that as well, not too sure, this was my first day, got another 3 through out the year

That is the best way to describe the sound, especially in high speed sweeping turns, like the tyres are scrubbing all the pick up off

It definitely was.

The Trofeo RS is a great track tire that you can also drive on the street, so long as it doesn't rain, or, well, if it does, slow way, way down, lol.

He reckons the Bridgstone was awesome in the wet. Times certainly said so.

I changed the front and rear pads on the 24 DH with PowerStop Z23 or Z26. I've used them on all my Mustangs and have never been disappointed.

I use the powerstop brakes on my F250 awesome and MUCH less dust. I looking for less dust on my 25 darkhorse how did the powerstop perform.
