Finally saw the video.

Pretty cool, not too often you get someone of this caliber to take you for a ride in your own car to see what it does in the hands of a pro.

Yep,
It was a telling experience. I put FireFox on my ancient computer awhile back.
Had issues that it seemed to fix.

but they last better than anything I've run so far including the Hoosier R6's. Also;
I run the 285's on all four corners so I can rotate the tires to extend the life. VIR
is especially hard on the left rear (thinking Hog Pen), so rotating is huge for me.

I'm on the same page I got a 295/30/18. But what are the spring rates of the Apexi N1's?
