> [@crAppAchic0](#): > > Why thank you, sir! Yeah, I hate to use excuses, well, not really, but- I really need a new set of tires. My 710’s are pretty much past the point most people toss them. Pretty sure I would have been able to do better, but not sure how much, really. lol, next year we are all going to have those tires probably ---

Not me. When I don’t run any better with them, I don’t wanna get laughed at, lol. ---

The azenis are a good tire to work with, really. It’s definitely better than a ‘nice’ summer tire, and a little more ‘forgiving’ that a set of r-comps. Oh yeah, and they’re definitely cheaper than a set of r-compounds. Personally, there have been autox’s where I would have loved to run a set of azenis on my car instead of the v710’s. If nothing else, most people will tell you that if you’re just starting out in autox, do not get a set of r-comps. Basically, you get better at handling the car with a set of mediocre tires, then when you’re able to push the limits with those; you’ll be able to use/appreciate how much more the r-comps are actually capable of. Eh, it’s the whole smooth=fast idea. ---

Eh, it’s the whole smooth=fast idea. I’ve been trying to tell Cliff that forever now. These are my 3 fastest times from the 21st…I had a 1:20.XXX on the 20th but remember what it was. 1:20.104 1:20.685 1:20.959 I placed 1st in 3 out of the 4 events in my class…beating out Cliff’s H22 Civic and Jesse’s nasty modded Spec-v. Got 3 cheesy trophies…so I’m happy with my results for just a 130hp Civic. :banana ---
