    But once they put their indicator right after I put mine on I knew what was going on..
    I don’t know if I’ll ever get to drive the Ring but I plan to use your video as a tutorial!

    What really would help if you had access to a playstation or similar or someone driving in front of you who knows what he's doing

    Very cool lap! I was there a few years ago but didn't dare to do a lap. Maybe someday with a more suitable car... and preferably someone in front who knows what he (or she) is doing.

    Yes (or no because I'm driving them through the whole summer season)
    These are Yokohama Advan A052 so it's a Semislick.
    I like them because you can mistreat them and they can take a beating.
    I've had some understeer issues with my front axle in the past that are now fixed with a changed geometry.
    So I've really used up a lot of front tire outer shoulder and they could cope better than others I've tried.
    Another thing I like is that they squeal before they let go. And they're still affordable and available in my size 185/60-14
