Hey FT BSTRD, do you regularly eat up the rear faster than the front, or are they wearing close to equal?

Obviously the center tread wears quickly with slab runs, but with the torque, the edges get pretty feathered as well. I just haven't found a tire that lasts more the 3500-4500 miles. |

For my next set of tires I might be trying the supercorsas
![]() I'm going to go with pirellis since my buddy is one of the vendors at the track and I get get a good price and a quick mount/change. I would like to try to the 2cts at some point to compare to the corsaIIIs though.

I wonder how much harder the center compound is on the PR2 vs. the PP2CT. |

You may want to check out the Bridgestone Battlax BT016's. Dual compound front, triple compound on the rear. Good tire, they just need more time to warm up than PP's.

![]() If that's true, the center of a PP2CT would be the same as the edges of a PR2. |

I'm sure most of you guys aren't running touring tires, but has anyone tried the Dunlop Road Smart tires?
