time for tires, used 205/45/15 re71r on 15x8 wheels last weekend but they sure do wear out quick, what do you guys like for HPDE ? I thought about some RC1 slicks but then I have to have another set of regular for rain I'm not sure if the rc1 run wide like the other slicks do
That seems to be a wide wheel for those tires. Tire Rack lists 7.5" as the max rim width for those tires.
I'm expecting to get 10 to 15 days out of my RE71Rs.
I would expect a Rcomp tire, like the RC-1s, to wear out even faster than the Bridgestones.

Today was the last official event of the 'summer' track season. I didn't go, as my tires never would have warmed up sufficiently (28 degrees this morning). If anyone went, would appreciate a quick report on how the day went. Track MINI and Classic Mini under wraps in hibernation mode in the garage til next spring...

Nope. Had a somewhat of a quiet day removing leaves. The car is slowly getting into winter mode; roof racks and rubber floor mats will go on/in shortly. The track tires are in the basement and snows are in the garage waiting to be put on. I will be at Stowe the first weekend of Dec for cheap skiing.
I do wonder how the RE71S would fair in the colder weather for a track day as compared to the the Rcomps? I think a 28 deg day is even too cold for them.

we run in the winter and off in the summer, too hot! I did another autocross and VIR yesterday, just one session these tires are wearing better now
I think I'm just gonna avoid NCCAR that place is too hard on tires with the giant constant radius turns now that I have my camber and springs worked out they are wearing a lot better

Winter wonderland this morning! I spotted a pair of passes to Killington for $50 total, but they have to be used by November 28th. Anybody interested in joining me? They only have 4 trails open as of this morning, but it is snowing there and they probably will have several more open after today...

Remember running my Classic Mini in the SCCA race at Nelson Ledges, OH for their Halloween Weekend race. It was so cold in the morning we had to scrape ice off the Mini's windshield. Starting the car with the Weber carbs was next to impossible. We had to pull the plugs, heat them under a blow torch, reinstall them, and then warm up the engine like, forever, to get any oil temp. Think I got a second place that year. Good times.
