last one...it's worse than it appears in the pic, the wheel is totally out of round

blah blah blah... go to any scca event and they will tell you for the track jack up the pressure 8- 10 above normal... reduce afterwards... you are not bursting at 40psi and streets of willow is not drag racing.... we are trying to send an evo fast as possible through corners... not enough pressure means using your sidewalls as tread!

I agree, but maintain that the pressures are tricky when dealing with specific applications...tire pressures for a miata are gonna be a little different for a stripped miata than a full interior evo, even using the same brand/model tire.

Those gold TE's look severely SWEET!! Again, I love Volk wheels, but I'm surprised at how easily they turned to crap. I plan on replacing the one wheel, and using them as my track wheels only now...they look horrid for street use

Yer right, it's not drag racing and SCCA auto-x is not track driving either. You can do whatever you want in your short cramped course, run 100 psi for all I care. So blah blah blah all you want. I'll go to an SCCA event where they don't run max psi, it's called the World Speed Challenge... so don't say "any" till you know what yer talking about...

MMLVMM

So you actually advocate running willow at 25 psi cold? I hope you don't actually run canyons this way cause' you will roll your sidewall and go over... ARE YOU ON CRACK? Seriously, I have run laguna and the big course on willow many many times, racing class b 750 class bikes. Tires are even more critical on a bike... you should not overwork your keyboard dyno and r & d dept. Enjoy your evo and peace

I didn't say cold, start normal, but I wouldn't jack it up 8-10 psi. Then reduce as needed.

uh oh, temper temper guys. In all fairness, it should be adjusted down not up, so I'd have to say that running a little high then dropping down is the ideal way to approach it. But what the hell this is a volk discussion not a PSI discussion right? hehehe

MMLVMM

rich you kill me.... especially when you might actually be right...
lets enjoy the car and not bend anymore rims!!!

drmosh

We had to drop the Volk discussion cause we know they're POS now Rich

MMLVMM

drmosh, no offense btw... just my 2 cents after crashing a few times on bikes over this issue...

drmosh

no offense taken I can see how you could lose traction on a bike with low psi

MMLVMM

so what kind of rims should i get besides volk? 17x9?
