I believe you are at the equivelent of 12k/12k this year.

I might be wrong though. You can look at the springs though and the last 3 numbers on the part number are the spring rates in pounds. Steve probably won't get on here. He's backed up with orders right now and is pulling some late nights to get them out to people.

I have a question for the Bridgestone users, is there a consensus to shave these or just go ahead and run them at full tread?

I don't think there is a consensus yet. Of course it'll depend on whether you're running in the dry or wet. Speaking to Rod Stotsenburg at Firestone NA, bridgestone seems to think that you do not need to shave them for good performance and that shaving won't make the last any longer.

EDIT: Although Rod was aware of STU, it seemed as though the focus of this tire has so far been the drifting crowd.

I haven't run them in competition yet. I picked up my first set last week and scrubbed them in around my neighborhood. At full tread they heat up pretty fast, but I'm not sure how the compound is going to take the NM heat in July. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I have a set of Bridgestones. I had mine shaved (4/32) due to the fact the I know
they'll heat up quickly at full tread. They stick very well too. I don't suspect
that they'll last real long but I'm only speculating at this time.

Enough to make them stay round.............














36f/38r the first time out on them, but I'm still on the
bone stock suspension.

I may try a little bit more air like Evo8dad did.

Yep, they're 700 lb/in front/rear which is 12.5005771 kg / mm

You wouldn't believe me though if you rode in it.
