    To me the question is up to what number of heat cycles? Will be good input since you have some skill around there.

    I talked to Michael last night and he and I both hope we never have to buy another set of RR's.

    The tire life is actually pretty long but don't expect it to grip. I was surprised how long it actually takes to wear it all the way down.

    I agree. I was told that they lose some time after five heat cycles but after 10 they are as hard as rock. Still lots of rubber left though.

    Just put the stickers on the right side and you'll be fine.

    If you do that, note to self:
    Pass Tyler after T3, 4, or 9. :^)

    I've got 8 or 9 heat cycles on my RR's right now, and will likely use them for at least one of the invert races. I will probably use them during the T&T as well. I also have a set of 12-15 HC RA1's that I may play around with too. I'm thinking about running the HC RR's for the invert race Saturday and the RA1's on the Sunday invert race.

    If my car doesn't blow up or anything, I'd be willing to do a few laps with the HC RA1's during one of the DE sessions on Saturday and then do another session around the same time of day on Sunday with the HC RR's. I can send the Traqmate data to anyone who wants it (if there appears to be much of a difference for lap times).
