So I went out to Autocross and had a blast! Tore the **** outta the car! Blew my rear passenger wheel bearing and trashed a set of tires. These are my fronts and they have about 1/2 inch of tread when i started.

Fudge, I didn't even wear my tires out so fast and they hardly had any tread to start when I went AutoXing. Bought some summer performance Falkens for this time around next weekend. You sure have a ton of tire squeal. Tire squeal is lost performance. I found that out when I went, and by paying attention to the noise, was able to drop from 1:06 to 56 seconds. Did you have fun? Details details please! Thoughts of doing this vs the drag racing you were thinking of? How many laps did you get out there? What were your starting and ending times? I see you went from a 67 to a 65 in 3 laps. Still, you fucked those tires up bad! How do you like the classic Audi dump truck push LOL?

I placed 1st in Rookie which runs agenst all other types and classes but they use something called PERMs I think to figure out how i conpair to a decked out Evo. I place 2nd or 3rd in my real class but i ran rookie so it's not all the same.

I problem was the tires were snow/all seasons and older! The squeal is from killing the tires so much that i was running laps with the tire like that I have more video from later in the day where once the tires got so bad they werent even squealing anymore! I had a freaking blast, I think I'm going to do this instead of drag. I'd still like to have a fast car tho! I ran quite a few laps! I started the day in the low 70's then lower and lower I mainly was doing 66's and did two 65's I have video from me running where I ran the 65 that put me up to 1st in the rookies that was like "And the silver A4 crosses the line with a 65.??? Not to bad of a time for a cop driving an all wheel drive brick, that he is running around on rubber with metal sticking out!"

Next one I'm running is Saturday the 18th. Its a police benefit run and all proceeds go to families of local fallen officers! So I need to get 2 tires and my wheel bearings done by then!!!!

Sat the 18th for me as well here in Cali! Good luck to you! Well, you have some camber tires now, but you should have just bought them from here ;-) cambertire.com

here is the tire issue... I have performance tires on my 18's but my 18's are 8.5in wide which move me up to "Street Mod" which is anything goes on a car except motor swaps... there was just no way to compete... So I took my stock wheels and put some used $15 tires on them!
