CAR GARAGE | Subaru XV Crosstrek (2013) | These Dunlops are inflated with nitrogen at the factory, a service-That GT-R certified dealers also are Supposed to Provide. Theoretically, pure nitrogen pressure offers Greater stability, for more uniform tire wear and better fuel mileage compared with water-filled tires. Under extreme conditions (like racing), nitrogen-filled tires offer Greater temperature stability, the which means more predictable road manners.
The track setting slightly increases the negative camber and toe-in of both the front and rear wheels. This means the top and forward edges of the wheels tilt more towards each other (think knock-kneed and pigeon-Toed) for "improved response and road holding," According to our buddy Nissan engineer Bruce Robinson.
Total cost for the labor, Including mounting and balancing the water-filled tires: $ 300. Any difference? The extra grip of the fresh rubber seems a to be compensating for the slightly relaxed alignment. The GT-R still delivers phenomenal bite and telepathic turn-in at the slightest touch of the helm.
