Tire Mounting and Balancing

DwD 0385: Tire Mounting and Balancing – For The Track

For this episode, we go over what to do and what to look out for when mounting and balancing your tires, especially for track use. As with most of high performance driving, we are pushing the tire and wheel/rim more than is “normal” and therefore we are more sensitive to certain aspects and maintenance practices than a normal, daily driven vehicle. We talk about several things to look for and look out for when having your tires mounted and balanced or even when doing it yourself. There is one key aspect that we look out for more than any other. (You didn’t think we were going to tell you here without a download did you? Lol)

Race Seat vs OEM Seats

DwD 0382: Race Seat vs OEM Seats: Advantages/Disadvantages and When to Change to a Race Seat

We talk about some of the key differences between a racing seat vs your OEM seat. This also includes the seat belt and harness differences. Obviously, there is a difference between the construction and installation of the race seat, but their use also makes a few “normal” use cases a bit more difficult. We cover several of the differences and advantages and disadvantages of the conversion. We also go with when it may be a good decision and when it really should be a non-optional addition to your car. As always, try to keep your safety as the top priority.
