Yep same set of tires. They held up great! I was worried after the first session because it looked like i had strange wear on my back right, but Dean pointed out it was rubber pick up. By now my tires are basically shaved to 4-5 mm . Really even wear but i have a slight slight touch of toe out all around. I didn't measure too accurately before/after the event. I'm sure i lost some tread but i can't really tell how much, very minimal loss though and for all the driving time we got . most of our sessions felt like they were 30 minutes. 2 hours of track driving easy.

I should check my pads for wear now (they were brand new... were ..)


I've read on grassroots motor sports tire test that the RT615's will over heat a bit but i never noticed any issues. although they probably felt like they had the most grip on about my 3rd lap and slightly less on the 4th. not sure if i was running just a touch too much PSI or what (was shooting for about 38-40 hot, kept coming off the track at 41-42) Scott said to use 38 so maybe next time i just need to run with 3 psi lower cold
