I am in need of some azenis or used R-Compounds fast before next week. The Azenis are on backorder. Does anyone know where I could find some tire fast.
Thanks

How long would new V700 full tread last if I used them as a street and autocross tire. Didn't Tony in the Viper do this. I think he said he got over 5000 miles on a set with autocross time.
What do you all think?

I think it would be a waste. With that many heat cycles those things probably won't stick any better than street tires.

Yeah, but the threat of too many heat cycles might keep you from putting a bunch of miles on the "collector car."

Well considering that the original tires are shot I am not going to put to many miles on it so I will not have to buy another set of tires. I think I am going to get some used tires for the Miata. I know I will proboly have to sell the Cobra soon.

I just can't have 2 toy cars and I am not sure how many miles miles is left on the old daily beater.
