At our recent Motorsports Expo, tires was the most popular topic discussed so I thought it was a good idea to have Mike Kubiak on to talk about track day and race day tires.
Mike spent six years as a tire engineer and now works for a friction (brakes) company. He is a successful Time Trial racer and had our attendees on the edge of their seat at the Expo.
We cover everything from how to select tires to tire storage. We talk about getting the most from your tires, tire pressures, and how to read your tires.
Mike and I also discuss his 2022 season.
Chris from LMS-EFI shares a Tech Tip about connecting wires.
