Hi Guyz I would like to participate in the Track day. Hey Sideways thanks for calling up 'n updating me. I would bring my Ford Ikon 1.3. I'll be there for both the days.

Last time participants-Did the baleno face extensive tire wear? I'll be thrown out of my house if I rip the tire tread in 2 days

Depends on how you drive. I was responsible for a full 50% of the wear, due to my driving antics. If you don't try F1-ing it, your wear should be reasonable... how old are your tyres anyway?

did the baleno face excessive tyre wear ?? yes it did .. But if u ease it out on a few corners and drive a bit on straight roads before u get home u might just be safe ..

Two words : Drool. Envy.

Gotta hand it to BikerSG, Sideways and the gang for taking this initiative. The Indian enthusiast culture is rockin!

I agree. This is a great start...

Why don't you Mumbai guys try and make it? Bunch of you hop into 2 cars and come down? Or even ship the cars?

why don't you get a couple of fanatics together and make a trip down here. promise to give you a blast. you have a month to plan, try and work out some cheap fares etc etc.

Let me know if I can help in any way i can.

Well, your question has been answered by the bangalore boys. Would suggest you take it easy around the corners. Try and pick up a set of second hand tyres. Should be able to sort your problem.

You will need to pick up only two tyres for the front. Rear tyres wont ware much.

kiku007 · 3rd January 2006, 23:05

thanks for the info guyz...BTW the car's done 26K and still has stock Bridgstone. they are in good condition. So i think i'll better go by Sideways suggestion and try to get a pair of 2nd hand tyres.
Hope the Chennai crowd doesn't disappoint the B'lore guyz this time
