I take it that you are running RE71s?
What kind of treadlife are you getting out of these???
AutoX only or track as well?
I've been really tempted to give these a try (road course only, no AutoX) but the rate of wear seen by others is holding me back.
I know one guy that has gone though 6 sets this year for 20 events.
But I think his setup on OE suspension may be a contributing factor.
My tire guy is not recommending unless I plan to spend for a few sets to get through the season.
He's telling me the 200 rating is not realistic & only to make them legal for AutoX (marketing)
I'm getting through the season now on one set of ZII star specs with tread to spare. (10 events)
The problem I was finding was that after getting a number of heat cycles through them, performance really started to fall off & tread wear slowed down.
Oh, & +1 to comments on NT05 I gave them up a long time ago.
Its also a very old tire
