This is what both my rears looked like after last weekend auto-x. It wasn't
even hot outside. Is this an indicator of anything particular I'm doing wrong? About the only abnormal thing on the course was a long 180 that was not quite a hairpin but I had the gas pedal to the floor for the whole last half of it. Basically with a 2.3 and limited slip and my setup, no possible way to spin with foot on the floor.  |

I can't deal with tires that get worse after the 4th run on a mild day. I'm
probably going to have a co-driver next season too. I might be able to use the R7, or go down to bridgestone re-71r. |
