Street tire will tell you when they're about to let go. R Comps will hang and hang in there, then boom, they're gone. With little warning.
Agreed, jdtodd an I did not run with you guys that morning at ZDAYZ because it was raining. We went out later and I was still wet Josh was like you lead you are on the r888 and I am on r71. We had fun and I resisted the urge to go full throttle until I had heat in my my tires and I wouldn't break traction. So even with hot tires 70% was it at best. Plenty fast enough for the both of us with full suspension and aero.
