First track day done but I think I need better tires

I think I'll have over 40k miles on them. Amazing! Not recommended below 35F or somewhere around there. This is still the first set of tires I've been on since the stock re050s wore out and I'm at 58K.

40k seriously? That's sounds unreal. If true then I could absolutely use re11 but that doesn't seem realistic. Again I plan to get a second set but that's a long road out and my rear will be wearing to warning bars sooner than later since they are at 4/32 or close now and 2 is wear limit. I don't have enough for 8 tires and 4 rims, so I'll get a daily driver tire that I could use in track until I have enough for another set and maybe some re11/direzza II etc.

Unless the re11 really do wear well, I plan multiple Tahoe trips from Bay Area and a so cal trip so not wanting to eat up expensive performance tire for highway cruising, waste of $.

Yep, unreal is right. Lots of highway miles but still, unreal!

BTW, I did not let the tire shop align my car. Figured I didn't hit anything and the RE050s had a good wear pattern on them. Also, I don't peal out. Spinnin aint winnin.

I think most people running the RE11s are amazed at how well the wear.

Hmm maybe some super sports as they get some good comments and at least have a 15k warranty which is kind of comforting when spending 1k+ on tires.
