My goal this year is to ride like MUSBJIM.
Maybe not a lot of miles, but I'll be enjoying every one of them.
Hafa adai! MUSBJIM

Ummmm. Ouch !

Don't blame Ed, you've been missing from here lately my friend!
Yeah, where ya been Dave?
Sorry Dave. Unforgivable oversight for sure.

Absolutely no sweat, Ed. I was just joking. Couldn't travel with the Roadster last year so I've concentrated on other projects and nicely enough my business seems impervious to the Covid swamp so I expanded that a fair bit. I'm too stunned to attach good links but if you got on Utube and searched Headwind first flight and Headwind with Verner flying on skis you'd see some stuff. I've just about bought a Raidtrac 618 late in this winter season to bomb around the airport and Rideau River a bit. We're healthy and more than a bit bored.
Daves not here

OK, so we can agree that some of us put on enough miles to have to worry about wearing out a set of tires. (I even went through a set myself of really crappy Dunlops after 30K miles.)
And lot's of good stuff here on how to set your tire pressures so they’re right for your tires, your car, and the way you drive.
Even pro race crews don't know the answers out of the gate and do pretty intense testing to find the right pressure settings for each session.
But this still begs the original question.
Were the suspensions of the original 356 different enough from our cars to need different tire pressures - or do they ride better so that higher pressures are more bearable?
I know if I set my fronts to what Willhoit recommends, I’m putting my dental work at risk.
Anyone have enough seat time in a 356 to know?

I can't help you with your questions, Mitch, but I can do some drifting.
Just to tread back to tires, I'm another that wears them out. I'm on my second set after four years. I can't figure out why...
I am on my second set as well, but most times due to camber I found two tires in the rear for one in the front but sometimes you have to bite the bullet to get 4 matching tires even if they are staggered. Good to see you back @David Stroud IM Roadster D
