2023 track days are complete!
Time for a brake flush, oil change, and fresh rubber.
New shoes for Stormy can be seen below.
I had 5/32” left on the fronts and 4/32” on the rears. This is per Discount Tire’s laser reader.
My handheld analog tread depth gauge showed 4/32” fronts and 3/32” rears, so I thought it was much more urgent.
I only did this swap NOW because I locked in some INSANE savings last month:
$1370 for all 4 tires with road hazard, mount and balance, sales tax (normal pricing)
-$50 for using my DT card
-$110 for the Michelin tire promo last month
-$610 Michelin mileage credit (warranty)
————
$521 for all new PS4S tires with full road hazard warranty
When I tell people I have a “sponsorship” with Michelin, I’m only *half* joking.
Their 30k mileage warranty lets me drive my tires as intended, and they stand behind the product (as does having a healthy relationship with my local DT stores).
I’ve used this twice now on two new sets of Michelins. I also rotate the tires religiously every 5k miles.
Anyway, I can’t ever afford to risk little kids with tools damaging my wheels, so I hand clean them, dismount them, label and take pictures of them before they go in for the new tires.
