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?) |

V710s are alright for a lite 914-4 for track or AX, but for a heavier car they get greasy after extended lapping....especially if it is hot outside.
the toyos are the spec tire for PRC 911cup cars....so they have to make the best of them... most TTers have gone away from them because their ultimate grip is not as great as Victors or Hoosiers. those toyo spec cars would be even faster with hoosiers on board. and at AX the Toyos just don't get heat in them fast enough to work well. |
