We will likely do a movie this weekend.

The autocross on Sunday looks like a bust. The HIGH is supposed to be mid 30s. Sorry I just don't want to play when it is that cold. I will skip this one.

Some people once tried to argue with me there are no all season tires and that i'm running summer tires
personally i find the whole discussion about winter tires overrated.. sure if you live in the friggin mountains, or in alaska, do get em.
but we get like 20 freezing days a year, if it's a strong winter .. so i fail to see how winter tires are impossible to do without.

Typically i see folks drive faster because of having winter tires.. which completely negates the advantage.. I'de rather have em all on all weathers, and learn to ffing drive.

Next Bimmer will have winter tires, boss bought into the hype and made it mandatory..fine, as long as he's paying for them.. It's annoying that now i'll have to do at least 2 extra stops at the garage to swap tires.. Obviously that will happen on company time.

My last set of Yokohama tires for the 911 were all season tires. They had decent grip in the cold weather and even ice & snow. I had to drive with my current Toyo summer tires in bad weather and they sucked. Since I autocross a lot I chew up tires fairly quick. I have the records of all the tires I have bought for my 911 over the last 16 years. I have no intention of ever running that report.

Have you tried 185's in your gun? I find they run a little flatter and don't start to drop as fast. (you can watch a 230 fall out of the barrel)

had some 195, the thing is , the lower you go the more powder you need...
Ballistically at 25 meter, there is no drop yet if you run your loads up to spec.
230 grain only starts to go down at 70 yards or so..

I find I get along best with the lighter rounds and my gun does not like anything lead so I shoot 195 JHP
