If an NT01 is a fair baseline for what 100tw is, RR is a fair baseline for what a 40tw tire is. It's a few seconds faster over a 2 min lap than NT01. AO52 is a bad baseline for what 200tw is, and is likely closer to 40tw. It's basically an RR with a little tread, that wears worse, but quite a bit more expensive. It doesn't compute.
People talk about the AO52 being shot after 3 track days. I haven't tried them because there is literally zero reason when the RR exists. They aren't going to be faster. They aren't going to last longer, and they aren't going to cost less.
I can get 4-5 days out of a set of RR's (25ish heat cycles). They are typically their fastest right at the end, and when it's over it's over. I like that lap time curve in a DE tire. Get's faster and faster until it dies, unlike the tires that start fast and decline in grip all the way to the cords. |
How does a RE71R fit into this lineup?
