I forgot what they are. Something like "plus 3" or something. I'll try and remember to look.
Lots of under steer and a bit of over steer, although this being my first time in the zhp, I kept DSC on.
The lack of pointer cones was a first for us. Apparently this was the "old school" way. I dunno. Seems stupid to me.

That looks like a ton of fun. I've done Thunderhill on the bike, but it looks like it's just as much fun in the car!

Looked up the tires I had on my 325. Tread wear rating of 300. My tires in my zhp are 560. Nearly crapped myself. What a stupid mistake. That explains so much.
Gunna see what kid of credit I can get and maybe swap them out.

I don't think UTQG of 560 is that high for all-season tires. My original summer tires were rated around 345 or 360. Of course, that doesn't mean you'll have good grip on them...

Those ratings aren't the same between the manufacturers. You can only compare that rating between tires of the same manufacturer, not across multiple brands. So, a Michelin rating of 300 isn't the same as a Bridgestone rating of 300, for example.
This is what I read on Tire Rack's site at least.

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

Yea but there's gotta be some relationship that a 300 is much softer than a 560. That's nearly 2x.
I've autocrossed on both tires and can confirm the 300 was A LOT stickier than the 560.

One of today's better laps out at Track Master's autocross at Sonoma Raceway.

They took us out on the NASCAR road course for a few medium speed laps. Kinda boring if you regularly watch track videos, but kinda interesting if you're super bored

Oh man, I was watching the video in the first post and could tell it was Thunderhill just from watching it and its been like 12 years since I was out there.
First Sacramento SCCA Auto-X is tomorrow and thinking of going just to watch, buy itching to get on a track sometime soon.
