Default Super Sports mounted up and ready to go!

Was 20 C here in the Toronto area and so I had to go and get the rubber swapped. I think I will put them on tomorrow. I know there will be more snow but the next week is calling for similar temps and I can't stand driving on snows in the warmth.

I seem to have caught my after dinner beverage in the shot.

Just don't try to drive on any snow or ice. I tried once with a set of Pirelli P7 on my 86 SAAB Turbo, the car would not even move. Thankfully, or I would not have been able to stop. You get zero traction with these high performance tires, not poor traction: zero.

Well they are on! Calculated risk. Yes Jagular they will be like the flat side of a puck in any snow or ice but the temps for the rest of the week will be close to 20C. Just about to go for a spin and see how they fell and how well the shop balanced.
