Well after doing my first track day, I can officially say that my Pirelli Angel sport touring tires are great. I had a blast and I will certainly do it again; one question I had for you guys. Since I had to change the coolant for water and water wetter, does the water in the radiator evaporate? Should I switch back to glycol coolant? I've heard that water and water wetter are just fine for the summer but I wanted to check with you guys before I cause some damage. | ||

If you use distilled water..and you certainly should... there's no problem with minerals that can plate out of the water.(calcium carbonate mostly) But..there's still a lot of oxygen entrained in the water that can cause corrosion problems, however the heat will soon boil off that oxygen. The problems come when water is dumped/refilled which brings in more oxygen each time. So leave the water in, then switch to glycol for winter. The water will not evaporate as it is a closed system. Changing from water to glycol and back each year should not cause problems, provided distilled (mineral-free) water is used. | ||

Cool thank you. | ||

If you're still here in Colorado, make sure and get glycol back in before winter. | ||
