...in the right rear tire. The other rear was 32psi, and the fronts were 33-34psi. Although the 29psi was on a 44 degree morning, so pressures would have been a couple psi higher in all the tires at the 60ish temperature it was a few days ago. There was a small nail in the tread of the right rear tire and there was a very slow leak. A few psi of tire pressure really can make the difference when you're on the edge of traction folks. Remember that. Now I'm on 4 new shoes: 235/40-18 S-03's.

Even still, 107 on that corner probably is not the best idea going.
