WARP TEN · 06-09-2014

Just before Bowling Green I bought a set of Michelin Pilot Sports from Costco. Stock fronts and 335 rears, since that is all Michelin makes. The rears definitely look wider than my previous tires. They ran fine down and back, seem properly balanced and provide much more grip than the old Sumitomos. Unfortunately Marc H drove WARP TEN at the BG drags and wore off about $400 worth of new rubber doing a burnout!. Also ran 12.4/116 without power shifting. Overall the new tires feel much better in terms of both traction and handling. --Bob
