I agree, the RR's heat cycle out way faster than the RA1's. I feel like I can get 2 weekends out of a set of tires with little drop. I think managing a full season on 2-3 sets of tires is very do-able.

I ran crap tires to start MSRH, in the rain, and they were terrible. Mounted up some new tires and ran them for the 4 races. Sunday qual, I ran off track on lap 1 in the rain so clearly not considered a heat cycle. I then ran the same set at Cresson for all 7 sessions. I figure they are at 11 heat cycles now and I plan to use them for practice at COTA and the invert race. Will have a new set for COTA that will get 4 heat cycles from 2 quals and 2 races. Will then run those tires at Hallett for qual and the 4 races so I'll be at 9 heat cycles on them at the end of Hallett.

And I also think $1,500 for Chris's StopTech brakes is a great deal, good luck with the sale!!
