Ran 22 days this year on ad08's and replaced the front tires after my 4th event because I hit a pothole (damn city) and the rears after about the 15th when the drivers side had a slow leak and walked in to the garage and it was flat. Don't think I was really "working" the tires till the last 5 or 6 days but still, these tires are indestructible. Tire pressure adjustment has worked wonders for me and have adjusted my driving style to suit and am very pleased. Cheaper than the plates but then again see a full coilover in the future so I'll shut up now.  |
How long are your events?
On my 330, my vorshlag plates have easily paid for themselves by increasing tire life by about 33% (rough estimate) because I can optimize camber/toe for street and track.
IMO, dinan is somewhere in the middle. A little less wear on the track, a little more wear on the street. IMO, kind of pointless since the dinan plates don't significantly increase camber for track use...which would make these fixed plates usable in at least 1 application.
I got it, the dinan plates do increase front end grip on the street and probably adds a noticable performance increase. But who's really saying that their M3 doesn't have enough front end grip for spirited driving...I must have more.
