Hey all. I’m new to autocross. I’ve gone a few times and love it. I have an ND2 Miata and I just got new potenzas put on. I have to drive on like maybe a block or two of dirt road before I get to paved. Only for the next month or so. Is that gonna ruin these tires or am I overthinking it? Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for all the replies. I freaking love the autocross crowd! This car isn’t my daily. And I’ll only be on gravel for another month until we move into our new place. So. Ima send it. 🤘

Hey all. I want to upgrade to triples. I have a 65” Bravia 8 that I’m using. It looks great but I want more immersion and better peripherals. My max
Budget is around $400 usd per monitor. Saving some money wouldn’t hurt. I’m totally new to PCs. Just built my first one a few months ago. I don’t know anything about monitors. Love to hear some advice and learn a thing or two. For reference I have an RTX 5080

Edit: I want 32”s

Hey all. I just want to let everyone know how the Best Buy extended warranty works for anyone purchasing it for a TV. I’ve been a Best Buy total member for a few years now and it’s been useful. I had some headphones that broke and they replaced them no questions asked. Great. I purchased a 65” Sony TV in 2025. Naturally I got the extended warranty. Well about a month a go it stopped working. Red light of death or whatever it’s called. No troubles. I’ll take it to Best Buy and have them replace it. Nope. Anything over 45” has to be repaired by geek squad. Not the geek squad at the store. Some other geek squad. Well I wasn’t stoked. But scheduled it anyhow. They said 2 weeks. It was 3 weeks. I was moving across the country the next day. I told them that. Well they cancelled. Called me the day of. And said bummer. Ok. Move to metro Detroit Best Buy is everywhere. Call them to schedule again. Well no geek squad service in your area. Ok. So now what? We don’t know. Maybe we’ll call you back. It’s been a month and half and I’m out an expensive TV. If you’re buying a TV over 45” stay away. It’s a scam. I’ve been on the phone with probably 15 people from various Best Buy call centers and nobody can help me. I’ll never buy a TV from them again. Costco gets all my business moving forward.

Hey all. I’m building my first gaming PC. I have a MacBook Pro now. I want to download windows onto a flash drive to install in on the new build. Is that something I can do? Will the download be transferred properly onto the PC? Any help would be appreciated.

Hey all. I’ve recently fell in love with sim racing. I have a ps5 and over the past year have picked up an RS50
And foldable rig. I play GT7 and ACC. The pc seems to offer a ton more sim racing games as well as better sim racing rigs. I’m totally new to pc building and need some help. Online play is important. Iracing is my goal. Maybe some VR but not necessarily right now.

My budget is 2-3k.

I’ll figure my monitor out later when I find my rig. But I guess I’d need something inexpensive to get started?

I do live close enough to a micro center.

Side note. How long before folks upgrade their gpus? Could I build a pc and it can last me 10yrs without major upgrades?

Thank you!!!!
