Default the diffrence between tire HUM and tire SQUEAL

this is an art form that street tire drivers learn to acquire... where race tires grip till they let go, street tires are designed to go way beyond the limit of grip. and they usually make a very distinctive sound..

driving the nurburgring is tough enough but to NEVER push a street tire car beyond it's limits is an art form. pay attention to this lap the tires NEVER squeal but they are almost always humming.

this is a 7 something lap. I've been to the "ring" twice now and can only manage 11min in a street car. so this is a GREAT lesson. also this lap was done in an AUTOMATIC... not even a paddle shifter..

pretty wild
