I've got a fresh set of v710s that I got onsale waiting for a full autox season, usually 2 drivers per event, 7-8 runs each. However I do want to get a few DE days in as well. I've got a second set of wheels with really old BFG R1s that are the perfect candidate for fresh rubber. I plan on attending a 2 day event at pocono raceway in April, 2 drivers, 4 x 20 minutes sessions each driver. Do you guys think this DE will take significant life off my new 710s? I'm thinking about buying a 2nd set of R compounds, Avon Tech R-As. Still available on closeout for $119/ea from tirerack. Realistically I dont see myself doing more than 4 or 5 DE days this season.
WWYD? (what would you do?) |

2 sets of v710s would be best, since different tires behave differently. It may cost more, but it would add a degree of consistency to your season. Lots of racers have 2 sets, like described above, and there are big advantages to using the freshest set in competition. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
