Limitedslip7 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I've got a set of Contisport Attacks on my R6 right now that I have used on the street for around 4-5000 miles (put it on last summer) and two Novice trackdays. They have plenty of rubber on the sides and haven't hit the wear bar in the middle yet. When would it be a good idea to replace the rear? I'm planning on doing another track day at Mid-O on the 22nd. I'm not sure how many heat cycles these can handle before traction begins to degrade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'm assuming they are a street tire, don't worry about heat cycles that's really a race tire thing. I run all my street tires to the bars on the track. You shouldn't have an issue getting 5-10 days from a set maybe more depending on pace.

blue03636 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 But nobody rides as slow as you, Craig.Just you buddy. Hell I got 22 days out of a front and 10-12 out of a rear pilot power coaching in I an N groups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Don't hate on my because I'm faster than Nick and you're not. And there is no coaching in I group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1crusher Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I figured you'd have argued being slower than Nick. Glad you've finally given in and realized your shortcomings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonStopable Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Jeff,I would just bite the bullet and buy new tires, especially in light of the recent spilt you had on that Conti rear that is on the bike now. Plus new tires would look so much better on that pretty bike of yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revelstoker Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Slow guy in I and only ride 4-5 days a year. I ride Q2s and they will last me a couple years. I don;t think I have actually worn our a front yet and the rear I changed wasn't to the wear markers yet. I changed them out just for age and peace of mind.

Casper Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 My biggest fear of doing a trackday is burning up tires quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are doing double duty you will use up the sides on the track and the centers on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gixxie750 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Never gamble with tires. In your case yes get a fresh set. Its cheaper in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
