[QUOTE="TroyV, post: 9727321, member: 28469"] That is an awful heavy car to run A's on. Can you be more specific on how long the tires would be run? 20 minute track sessions? 40 second AX runs? A's are a brilliant tire, but they are very easy to over heat, and they can instantly cord at the shoulder if they are not aired properly and you are doing lots of sliding. I got nine 120 second autocross runs out of the front pair of A's on my 03 Cobra. I over drove the tire, and paid the price. R's will last you longer, but are still adversely affected by sliding the car around. If that is your style of driving, then V710's are the tire for you. They grip almost as good as A's, and better than R's, but are really good for the heavier cars, and have much more heat resistance.. You can also get many many more events out of them. On my Miata, my A's should be done by the end of my next TT event. So that is around 60 autocross runs of 95 seconds or more, four open track sessions of 20 minutes each, and two TT sessions of four laps each for a total of 223 track/ax miles. Not a lot of life....even on a Miata weighing 2200 pounds. If you have the cash and want quick laps with no warm up time, you cannot do any better than A's as DOT tires go. R's or V710's are good longer lasting alternatives with the V's having the edge. The only other tire I would consider to be in the same league would be the Hankook Z214 in the C71 compound (like A's) or the C51 compound (like R's) [/QUOTE]
