Yeah, such a test would be a luxury for sure. I would be interested in finding out more about it though as I wonder what differentiates the r-compounds from street tires in that respect.
Ben, do you have any info that might explain that?
Also, the downside with getting "addicted" to prime traction that new tires offer is massive $. I say addicted because once you experience what new slicks offer for instance, you keep on wanting that level of performance as their grip starts to fall after a couple of days. You somehow remember how sticky they were/can be, and yearn for that although what you've got is still OK for your average track day, but you can't keep on buying new tires every 2-3 track days (well, that's how I feel anyway). I understand you are saying something somewhat different as you seem to have experienced an uneven fall in traction front to rear and that might have messed up the balance of your car.
