    Tire Tech Seminar! March 19th 2011 @ 2pm

    So, as prime riding time is coming up I wanted to put on a tire seminar for everyone and anyone that could benefit from it.

    When: March 19th 2011 @ 2pm

    Where: Sol Performance, 233 S. Madison St. Loveland, Co 80537

    Why: To share knowledge about street and track tires

    Who: Me!

    I am just posting this now so I can get some sort of feedback of what topics you guys (and gals) would like to have covered.

    So far I have:
    Sizes
    Pressures and when to adjust (Thanks Casey)
    Street vs. Race tires
    Rain vs. Intermediate vs. DOT vs. Slick
    Warmers
    Tearing (Thanks jbnwc)
    Operating temps for street vs. track tires (Thanks Dave)
    'cupping' (Thanks Dave)
    carcass stiffness's (Thanks Dave)
    "Born on" date (Thanks Sean)


    If you think something should be added to the list, please let me know. I will update this post when I have a location. I just wanted to give as much notice for the time and date.

    Please let me know if you are interested so I can make sure to have enough space for every one... possibly hand outs as well.

    (Note: this is not a Dunlop only oriented seminar. It will be generic to apply for all brands)

    If you went into the same sort of material as is detailed in this video, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

    Re: Tire Tech Seminar!

    I think operating temps for street v. track tires (and what happens when you don't meet or exceed those temps), different tire wear phenoms, tearing, 'cupping', etc. (more of a suspension thing IMO, but still valuable), the effect of different carcass stiffness's, different compounds for different pavement surfaces/conditions...

    But I'm kind of a nerd, so maybe that's more depth than most care to delve into...let me know if you need a hand setting anything up chief

    Re: Tire Tech Seminar!

    Maybe talk about age/deterioration, how to find the newness/freshness of a tire? ex: online vendors that sell old tires.

    That's actually a good one that not many dealers want you to know. I could get lynched by the tire community for sharing but I will. Just for you dude! :P

    Although I like the location, I don't think Oscar wants to come that far south since he lives up in the sticks. I suggested to him to do it somewhere central for everyone.

    Supertune would be a good place. Mike is a big supporter of tech days and the MRA, so he'd be up for it.

    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
