    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!!
    No doubt it you manage and flip your tires like Michael does you can do better. Kevin also runs older tires on inverts so yes you can do it on three sets but that does not change the fact that somewhere around 10-12 heat cycles the tires have lost a little. Also if you want to go as fast as possible and do the best you can in every race (even inverts) running "crap tires" is not going to do it. I have two full sets with 12 heat cycles that still look only half worn but they are slower than new tires I promise.
