Can I get one more track day on these?

5.M0NSTER · 04-23-2022, 03:33 PM

Hey guys, could use your opinion here.

I have these original F1 SC3s still on the car. They have 4 track days on them since I bought the car used a year ago. Also 10,500 miles.

Do you think I can get another track day out of them? I have a new set already, but wondering if I can get one more day before I witch to the new set.

These are the fronts. Backs have slightly less thread, but shoulders are in better shape.

I know if it's wet I might as well stay home. But should be OK for one more dry day? What do you guys think?

Always take them to the cords!!

Mine are just a touch further worn than yours. You'll be good, just keep watching for cords after each session.

Run em till they cord!

Like others have said I like to see the cords to get my moneys worth, I do also trailer mine though so I don't need to worry about driving home.

Thanks for the input guys. Sounds like I have one more to go. Next track day is a week away. Will let you know how it went!

I flip mine on the rim, never had any issues, just dont drive in rain.

My OE tires are in about the same shape at 8500 miles and they were not very good the last time I ran them on the track. Too many heat cycles. I figured if I lost control because I had old tires and hit something I didn’t really save any money. Not a tire to drive at 10/10th’s or try to set fast time with anyway.

Might want to keep them as track spares.

I think you have a couple more days in them

5.M0NSTER · 05-02-2022, 09:16 PM

So I ended up doing another track day on those tires. They did pretty well. I would say they had 95% of the grip I was hoping for.

Now I'm done with them, but they gave me 6 - 20min sessions today, a new Personal Best at Mid Ohio (1:40.9), and a bunch of fun. I think I'm ready for the new set now :-)

As long as its 100% dry your all good. Without any tread you could actually have more grip and the tires are a few lbs lighter so may be faster even. Depending on if the rubber compound is not too degraded from heat cycles.
