@rotis and @apexit53 What pressures do you guys run and how many runs do you get? Also this question applies to anyone with the V8 SS models on 8.5" front baby wheels.

32/30 for me

Because our season is so short here I never fully killed a set. For me about 50 runs and I felt my fronts were toast. You can flip them and get more butnive always felt once you flip Bridgestones they aren’t as fast. Kinda one reason Sam Karp is going to stp or cam for tire wear.

isnt it crazy that we have 8.5 front and 9.5 rear and the M3 comp pack has 9" up front and 10" in the rear!!

Ending up running these tires at Autoclub Speedway which is a lower grip asphalt surface that has been used for years and has a lot of void due to the surface deteriorating. Car was definitely hard to drive along with being hot lapped due to a low turn out. Course didn't have as much "yeehaw" or we didn't have enough grip to enjoy the gas pedal. Huge learning experience.

33 front, 28-30 rear depending on balance.

I got 146 runs on my first set. (flipped at 104)

My second set hit 125 runs at Solo Nationals, it was flipped at 60. They were sold with a little tread left.

They are slow for a solid 5 runs after the flip, then they start working again.

Yes, F-Street. 275 on 19" wheels.

I'm getting more runs in STP configuration - 315 on 11". Probably two items to note as they relate to tire wear-

1) I am very smooth and I'm more likely to under drive than over drive.

2) I primarily compete on asphalt, although a significant percentage of runs still happened on concrete. (Crows Landing and Lincoln)
