More durable/affordable tire option?

[Al Fernandez]

Personally I would think we'd want to spend a bit of time simply driving on these (and building heat cycles) and optimizing setup before thinking we're ready for a test. I would be surprised if we did not find that they require different alignment, pressures, and spring/damper settings to work well.

Lots of discussion going on, glad to see that. Ideas are all over the map, at least we're having the talk!

The weather this weekend isn't looking great, so I'll at least get to text azenis as rain tires

Got em mounted, I'm wondering if they'll rub more than the RRs.

I've gotten mine mounted also. It's getting a bit out of hand. I have four vehicles and a trailer, all sitting on their tires and this stack is still left over. There is something wrong with us...

All that setup work (specific to Josh's car, anyway) is planned for this weekend. That's assuming the weather plays nice. The forecast is all over the map and changing every time I look. If the weather holds out, we will have a full weekend of setup and heat cycles on his tires with the stickers still on mine. If the skies open up, Josh's won't have as many effective cycles on them and mine won't be stickers anymore...

Where has anyone been able to buy a set of RR’s from? I haven’t bought a set since middle of last year and can’t find anyone that has any in stock to ship to a residence.

I got mine from Phil's Tire late last year, but they were already a year old. Maybe they only make them every other year.

Did you try simple tire?

Supply low, demand high - I'll sell you my set for $2k delivered to the track!

Just kidding of course, it's actually $5k.

Since I also bought Azenis I got a set of second hand new stickers from Matt White for a discount. Have you called tirerack to see what they can do? They've been great to me over the years.
