I like the StarSpecs, but IMO they are terrible in the rain/cold weather.. it seems to me they turn into bricks when it's cold. I think 15's would be ideal for the SVT, good choice.
Sorry, gotta call this as anecdotal evidence only. Starspecs are pretty widely known to be faster when cold than RS3's... unless you're comparing them to allseasons or winter tires, in which case I agree :)

Your set is probably just heat-cycled out.

It is showing for me now, so try refreshing your browser.

I signed up for the photobucket beta testers so my albums were transferred to a different server. The images are sometimes up and sometimes down. Its a pain, but its kind of fun to use the new features of photobucket before everyone else.

Yes! now it works! slick pic!

I know that my RS3's need heat to compete, but my last set of Star Specs HATED the cool breeze and felt like crud on most transitions. maybe it's the elevation?? haha.

Haha yeah I was searching for the positive. I'm a chronic over-driver also.

That looked like a really fast course and your car seems to dig out of the corners really well too. Good driving!
