Yes, unless it gets out of whack for some reason or I'm feeling lazy. If toe is not equal on both sides to start with it's harder to do yourself. I have done it with an unequal starting point a couple times, but it takes a while and at that point it's usually worth it to me to just pay to have it aligned.

To the comment about not being able to roll the fenders with the tabs in place your rolled doesn't really have a lot of experience then. I've cut the tabs once and the rest of the time left them alone. I actually prefer to just leave them in place. You can still roll them just the same.

ok so after reading all 8 pages, I have a question or two.

First, What is OPR lol I saw that and it looks interesting but have no clue what it is.

Second, Thsi question involves heat to the tires. I am running Hankook Ventus evo (blah blah blah) tires with 225f, 255r. and was wondering how do I know if the tires are reaching the correct temperature and whether i need to spray them off with water or to leave them be. Is there a website that I can look this information up or am I just a newb.

I have my first autocross of the year tomorrow (second all time) and any information regarding this topic will be extremely helpful.

OPR is Other People's Rubber. Some times it looks like worms rolled up on your tires. It usually appears at really grippy/abrasive sites and at Lincoln, it's an especially nasty mix if rubber and seam sealer that's used between the cracks of the concrete pads.

Anyway, there is no info on what temp is best for your tires and people will tell you all kinds of different things about what they think works for them. Who knows... If it's just your second auto-x, there are way more important things to focus on, like driving.

Thanks for the info and looks like a wet one tomorrow so I will get lots of wet driving in. Unfortunately I am an engineer and like lots of data and view points on it lol.

No. Nitrogen would be another option to achieve more stable tire pressures.

ok, thanks.

pretty cool sounding set up if you want to remain with regular compressed air instead of nitrogen... With nitrogen how do you ensure that it is all nitrogen and there is no air at all?
