Fantastic driving! Crossing the mustard at 4:42 was a bit risky...

Great video!! I was in the blue VN that day in front of you. What a great time!

[@vehicleobsessions]

Oh really. Wow small world. I probably have a full video of you with the front facing GoPro

Man if you could post it or email a Google drive link that would be awesome!

Great video! As a ZLE owner myself - what are your thought about the RT660 tires? Any concerns in the wet/damp conditions?

[@vehicleobsessions]

The RT-660 are great. They are very quite as well and handle okay in the rain. I ran some damp roads and it only got kind of sketchy when it started raining harder and I was still pushing it a little. I cannot really compare the supercar 3r to the RT-660, but I assume the supercar 3r may take more to overheat, because the RT-660 seems pretty soft even without getting too much heat in them. I think they are a great tire for the street because they get stickier with heat in them but I don't feel like you would ever overheat them on the street. I have not tried them on the track, I assume they would do okay If the RT-660 still have tread and not down too low they are still very drivable in the rain. Only issues is the tire sizes are 305/30/19 front and 315/30/19 rear. there is no 325 rear option for the tire, but I don't find that to be a downside really considering I ran supercar 3 (non r) before and the RT-660 still had way more grip regardless of going down a width in the rear. for maximum street grip the RT-660 is a great tire and great middle place to be between a 100TW and 220TW tire

@@vehicleobsessions Thanks so much for your detailed reply. I am in the market for tires now (considering my PS4S has served me well for 18k miles). The only issue I've had with the PS4S is that the tires were too soft with grip off on backroads at high lateral loads. The steering feel was great either. I think our cars like a stiff sidewall (GY3R/GY3 etc). I think the RT660 looks like it could provide lots of information to the driver and be able to deal with some rain as well. I live in MD and am thinking of doing another drive down to the Dragon area this fall.

Sped up vid...

[@vehicleobsessions]

I had both an interior video and exterior. Neither were sped up. What would be the point of that. The run wasn’t even that fast

@@vehicleobsessions OK , play it back at.75 speed, then it looks normal.
