What kind of driving have you been doing?

i've been doing at least one track day and/ or auto-x a month. i've had 5 events so far since i bought the car in september. i use the car for daily driving also of course.
i didnt realize heat cycling would be an issue on these tires after only 5 events. my hankooks used to take way more cycles. the absolute worst tire when it comes to heat cycling are the rt-615's. i'd get maybe 3 events on them before they become completely useless. i call them "plasticized".
