Are my new tires too old?

[twobjshelbys]

My 2006 book says 111lb-ft. It does not differentiate between standard wheels and BBS wheels.

Well this is the way I have been doing them for decades, same way Rich and Denis had been doing them and that's with a dot of copper grease so the nuts don't seize on the threads......But to each his own.
Yes I fully agree today MOST places go happy with an air gun and dig away .
I use a torque wrench the entire three settings.
But that's my way.

So the new...err old...tires are a complete game changer. On the short trip from my Lamborghini dealer who mounted/balanced my Bridgestone’s to the detailer who is doing the paint correction, full PPF, and ceramic, the car felt completely different. The 15 year Goodyear’s were so bad, and inspired so little confidence. I can’t wait to give the car a properly spirited backroads drive.

Yep, they do wake up the car relative to 14 year old Goodyears.

Yep, Play with the pressures.....
Sometimes I start at 34/36 but eventually end up at 33 all around.
To me its the sweet spot I like. NOTICE the DRONE from the Good years are totally gone?
Enjoy the ride!

I kinda like the 05 Goodyears. It's like I have 1500HP!
