Like Marcus said earlier, PIT are running good at low temp and HPI bridgestone perform a lot better with high temperatures.
Unfortunately during my testing, the temperature never reached a level where HPI tires could be more efficient.
Yes, that's almost indoor temperature.
Pit tire seems working okay in the morning, but after a while when california sun have burned the surface. It's not even fun to drive.

Anyone know how to deal with the wobbling wheels? feels like the wheel is wobbling around a lot,
large caster helps it to correct the toe, make it able to go straight,
but camber is suffered, not sure if it affect a lot, though.
I used Intergy 7mm wheel hex, and aluminum turnbuckle so that I can tighten the wheel more (without the plastic friction).
