Default TuBliss

I've been experimenting with lots of stuff since I've decided to try to qualify for the ISDE in 2010. One of them has been TuBliss tire inserts. I like them. They make it a snap to change a tire. A little different, but it's pretty nice. Not that a foam insert is impossible, but sometimes the tire doesn't bead, and that wobbly feeling drives me nuts. Certainly if I'm going to do two tires in less than 15 minutes, this TuBliss thing is an advantage.

I have enjoyed experimenting with tire pressures, running anywhere from 4-8 psi. What's incredible about that is that you can air down the tire and get unreal grip in low traction situations. I'll have to put some tires on that I'm used to though for a real traction report, because I tried some oddball Sedona Tires. They seem fine, but have been less predictable than my normal Dunlop 773. I'm not sure if it's the tire pressure, or the tire itself. They worked great in the desert, I ran 8 psi front and rear and had absolutely no complaints.
