Fintro is from coastal BC, and gets weather likely very similar to Seattle. Me on the other hand, typically get hammered pretty well all winter.
Except this year. We're having a green Christmas this year with temps around 10-14C. Thanks, El Niņo!

Yeah this is about as much snow as we get here on the Island, by chance while I was taking this photo two kids spun out trying to drift around the corner haha

Update....
did 2 days at the track last weekend and could not be happier with the Dunlop Star Spec tires.
Tons of grip, never got greasy, super responsive. Set a club track record for my class as well.
I have another AX week after next and will see how they perform after being heat cycled a lot last weekend
If you are looking for a great street tire that performs super well at the track, I highly recommend them

After 3 years on Toyo R888's, I just purchased a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R's. R888's were pretty well worn after track and AX events, plus the 200 rating on the Potenza's gets me into a different class for AX. Friends have AXed these tires and LOVE them, so I figured time to give them a try...anyone else running these?

Yes, that is what I hear. No way they are 200's, but hey- just following the rules :-)
