VIDEO...Honing driving skills on worn out R7s

might wanna skip first minute or so. You can and hear understeer on initial turn in. More noticeable towards the end so watch the whole vid if possible! Some good oversteers too.

so honest question how does one know if you are ready for hoosiers vs supercar3 / supercar 3rs? i know one of the things i have heard is no warning on when they grip/slip but this is honest question !

do mean time to graduate to Hoosiers?
if that is the question I would say that your lap times are consistent with a particular tire.

Now I can tell you that after the 5th heat cycle on a set of R7s that my lap times fall off. these tires had 12 cycles on them and I was running 3-3.5 seconds off! I felt like I was rolling along well but times dont show that!
was very hot too so that always hurts.

Are your lap times consistent when traffic isn't an issue?
All with 1/2 second apart?
If yes try a set of Hoosier R7.

These are what I have tried on my 1LE. The GSC3's are nice, then R888R's better but a heavy tire, Hoosier A7's are F'n awesome, pretty close to slicks. If you want to go fa$t, Hoo$iers aren't cheap and our hobby can be a money pit but ain't it fun!

Nick what’s the solution for understeer? I too felt it when I was out in the same session with u- I wonder if it was heat related since I generally don’t get as much…
