Hell to the NAW!!

What tyres do you have? I know they're pretty tough on AWD cars competing/participating in the DriftDay events... so although I see why Subie's not listed... it doesn't mean they can't sliiiide!

They are still compiling data, and will be posting more charts/info soon.
I'm sure that data comparison is on its way!
