Also, how hard are they? heat cycles play a lot in this. For example - my old RE070s. I loved those tires. Seriously. loved them. At the end I still had plenty of tread on them, but they had been heat cycled so many times they were as hard as rocks, and had very little grip left to them. Heck, just to get them hot enough to be sticky required at least 2 back to back hard autocross runs.

ROFL! funny, always took me a lap on track to get the 70's up to par, and 7-10 to get them SO greasy i had to come in. Although i can see them taking forever to heat up at an AutoX.

I'm still in love with the RE-70's.. they are some of the best tires ever made, as long as its not raining
