Maybe I missed it but I have not seen tires (i have only had 1 cup of coffee this morning so apologies if I missed it).
TIres: new toyo RR tires.
Cost only up $8 a tire so it is a small increase
Performance- supposedly better and the cars will be a little faster!
The wear has been decent on the tires.
I think NASA is pretty much telling us that were running on RRs next year.
Reference section 14.9: is Rims even a word? I live in an Army town where Soldiers like to throw away their money. I know of a few places just off post in the old part of town where I can get some shiny new rims. I dont think they make RRs in dub sizes though.
I also dont want to suggest a change but maybe rather propose a placeholder for future research. Along the lines of allowing an accusump, I think some research should be made regarding transaxle oil temperatures and what we can do to possibly cool the oil and/or help lubricate the ring and pinion gear. It was mentioned in another thread of installing a pump that directs a steady stream of oil on the ring and pinion gear plus incorporates a cooler. I think there is already some data being collected on oil temps, but if there were potentially a cheap cooling/lubrication mod for the transaxle I think it would greatly increase the longevity of some of our gearboxes especially since these things are so expensive to rebuild.
