Cool

Ya I live in the Sierra’s in Cali and we get our shear of what they call “Sierra cement!” It’s super wet and incredibly miserable to have to drive in on windy twisty mountain roads. It can be a white knuckle experience, so we take tires seriously up here. Last winter and this isn’t no lie, but I can clearly recall nothing but 4x4’s & me in my TT Turbo Roadster Quattro. Everybody was looking at me like I was nuts. Little did they know I had better traction then they did!! I also have a friend in and AC Cobra club and they sheared a little trick they use in they're Cobras and thats just dropping the air presure in all 4 tires. Done In our TT's it makes you feel like your in a slot car. During the winter I ran 30 psi in front & 28 in back because there is less weight in the rear so the tires equal out. Then on dry roads the car is just amazing you can easily go over board and push your car to far! So if you do this keep in in the back of your mind.
