    I will be right with you. I have RR's with lots of HC's and two new RA1's.

    Put RR on one side and RA1 on the other. Then you'll know which is better haha

    I've got 19HC on my RR's and they felt great at TWS, felt like crap at Hallett the event before (surface maybe).
    Anyone know when the next drop off is for the RR's? I'm worried about 19HC for ECR.

    Don't worry. Michael and I are in the same boat as you are. Maybe we were told a bunch of BS about the RR's. At TWS either the tires were still good or Michael would have ran a 1:53 if he was on RA1's. I bought two RA1's since I had Toyo Bucks that were going to expire. After TWS it looks like the RR is the better tire. Mine still look good with 17 H/C's on them.

    I can say I have no clue what the ideal situation is with the tires, RR's vs RA1. After Hallett I would have promised I would never buy RR's again. Now after TWS, like Tyler said I thought the RR's felt great!!
    At Hallett on near new RR's I was about 3/4 of a second off my times from the last 4 years there. At TWS, my best lap was over 1 second faster than I have ever gone going CCW. I have no clue how there can be this big a difference in feel. If you take out the wet sessions, my RR's now have 13 heat cycles on them. I'm going to run them at ECR and compare to the last few years lap times at ECR.

    I did order 1 RR to use some Toyo Bucks from Hallett. The wear on the RR is better than the RA1 IMO. I have no clue if the new surface at Hallett hates RR's or if something else crazy is going on. Heck, I might run RA1's at Hallett and RR's at every other track.

    Was the weather cooler than usual at TWS? Do you think it may have had an effect on lap times?
