I'm still fascinated that all of those tires, save for the Hoosiers, give you basically the same lap times.

I was just about to post the same thing.
You seem quite serious on improving your driving and understanding of vehicle dynamics, but your current approach is almost certainly a hindrance.
If you're not at the point where you can confidently, and quickly, drive with DSC off with street tires, then using mismatched sets of tires front and rear will definitely not help - and the main issue being is you swap to different mismatched combinations almost every track day! If you want to improve your driving at the limit, your trail braking and the ability to confidently run with DSC off at all times, then you should eliminate these self-imposed variables you set on yourself every time out on track. Your hurting your own progression by drastically changing your cars handling dynamics every time you run a different front and rear tire combo and switch to a different combo the next time out. If you don't care about delaying your own progression then carry on, but otherwise I would strongly advise running both the same tires front and rear and using the same set of tires for a few times to build some consistency and allow you to solely focus on developing technique. At the very least, if you run mismatched sets, run the same mismatched set consistently..
There was a great article on the Cup 2's posted in the Wheel+Tire section that clearly outlines how different every tire compound is and why mismatched sets are a poor approach. |
Are you speaking from experience?
Have you tried doing what I am doing?
Just curious.
Let's agree to disagree. My setup is giving me the exact experience that I want, albeit I am slower. I am learning what I need to learn, and pretty sure when I mount an A7 I will be doing a PB in the fall.
