I don't know if I can do 1 more HPDE track day coming up in Feb 3rd. I have pretty much no tread left. Any input would be helpful. Thanks!

Can I do 1 more Track day with my rears RE-11?
I don't know if I can do 1 more HPDE track day coming up in Feb 3rd.
I have pretty much no tread left. Any input would be helpful. Thanks! Also, another question. For Tread measurement, am I supposed to use the wider marker (left side) or the thinner one (right side)? |

Lol you have more than enough for dry day! Don't change them unless you Need wet tire. Little sketchy for wet driving.

I'm confused...so will I have enough traction? I think it'll be a dry day on Feb 3rd. I'm gonna be running Hi intermediate group. I won't get to the pt where wires will be showing right?

If its dry, you will be fine. as for which bar to use, I think its whichever is the worst, but you aren't going to blow a tire or anything. I run Hoosiers until the first one cords.

not sure about track days. but they are definitely slower at your tread level in autox for me. still. it is plenty safe, especially given how good your edges look. u will be fine as long as it isn't wet
I see a differences when the edges on these tires wear out. not in the middle so much. I am on re11 #9-12 now |
