[QUOTE="ShelbyGuy, post: 4128284, member: 10042"] yeah the extra 00:00.10 per lap having a "balanced" set would gain me is negligible compared to the extra 00:05.00 per lap i'd gain with more experience. i already know what a tire feels like when its out of heat cycles (thats part of why i stepped up from street tires to stickies - ever drive a pilot sport thats got no heat cycles left in it? i have! its like they got smeared with vaseline! greasy!) im not sure i have enough seat time with these tires to tell the difference between the new one and the other three, but i'm learning to feel the other three just fine. im pretty sure i took them through their full temp range at gingerman last weekend. that said, i do have to teach myself now how to set the car up (and the tires) to be easier on them. the first thing i learned is that sticky tires (both the 555r2 i tried before and these v710) dont like pressure. starting with a lower cold pressure than i do with the street tires really helped even out the wear. i think i started at 27 rear and 30 front. what i need to do now is get good at taking hot temps and dial in the pressures and camber.
