Some may have confused tire wear at NYST with tires wear in general. To clarify, tire wear at NYST is NOT because the tires I buy, but the surface of that particular track (it prioritize motorcycle grip if I understand correctly the issue)
If you take my reports on tire wear at NYST, and extrapolate the info to other tracks such as WGI, PMP or LRP, you are missing my point completely.
If you think that the Force (endurance) will last at NYST substantially longer at NYST at sub 1:39 pace, than I am guessing you are mistaken. Unfortunately, until I get around to try it, I won't know for sure. As a refrence an RT-660 was done on the second day by lunch. That was on 1:36 pace which I am not sure the Force can do.
A typical day at NYST is 7x20min session. So the issue is what tires can finish a second day on pace. Until today, NO front passenger tire was able to finish a second day at the pace I am going. If you flip pass for driver both tires will be gone. On the second day the driver side inside will be gone, and the passenger outside will be gone.
If you still convinced that I don't know how to use a calculator than don't blame me for being dismissive.

i do the same thing you do, i run different but close tires similar in TW rating. when i am being cheap.
for example, i had RE71R in the rear (the grippier tire) and a pair of Federal 595RSRR up front (the less grippier tire) both tires 200TW.
wasn't a big deal, but the RSRR ends up giving up first before the RE71R did.
