warm up

So at what Temp do you warm you ss up before you start dring it? and I notice that my RS tires feel like they have a flat spot when it sits overnight when the outside temp is under 40 degrees. takes about a mile to smooth out.
I let mine warm up to 100-125 then i feel comfortable driving it. is this a good temp range

If it "feels" cold when it starts, I sit until it breaks 100 on the moniter. No real good reason behind it tho, just what I feel makes sense

P-Zeros are not waranteed below 45F so be careful. Make sure you keep them ~36psi.

I keep tires between 37 and 40 I hope thats ok. I also drive slow tell the tires smooth out

before you start drifting it? The colder the better the tires dont hook usually when leaving the parking lot after work.

Pzeros are scary sometimes I was getting off the on ramp and onto the highway and my rear end got loose at 70 mph . It was a butt clinching moment . It was about 3 degrees lol.

I get in and drive off, unless it's icy/under snow...

Keep revs below 3k rpm until the oil temp is somewhere above the 1st indicator on the gauge.

I let it run for about a minute or so, then drive it easy until the temp guage gets up to the normal mark. And yeah... the P-Zeros take a while to roll smoothly.

Your driveway has a 70mph speed limit? :trollface:

I concern myself with oil temp first, and the others will be fine.
