First was that the tarmac on the airfield is pretty old and doesnt have any black sticky tar left on it anymore, you can see white and grey rock surfaces in the tarmac already

second is the tread wear rating on the N3000 is 349 which is about 149 higher than you really want it to be for auto-x so that made it very slippery, to the point where i felt like I had shopping cart wheels
What tires are you thinking of? Azenis RT-615's by any chance? if so then ill have some serious competition coming my way , and if youll take all that weight again then ill have to do some serious changes to my driving to keep up for sure
