    Anybody know? A lot of tires start to suck when they hit the wear bars. I have about a milimeter over the wear bar. Anyone ever take a set like this to the track?

    I'm trying to decide if I should switch them out now, or wait until after club wars when they'll be totally dead.

    I think the best option is to buy one of my extra sets of wheels, and save them for autoXing, and run the RE-01R tires for regular driving, as the RT-615s really really suck in rain when they get near the wear bars.

    If you do decide to swap them out, give me the removed rt-615s, and I will run them until they are bald.

    Then again... you have a daily driver now, so you can just not drive the STi when it rains, and run the Azenis until they are bald bald bald

    You have enough of my money Brian... You should just give me a set.
    I'm not worried about rain. I was mainly asking how they'll do on the track when they're that worn down.
    For example, the Falken 215s got worse as they got older.

    Forget it. I'm just going to swap them out tomorrow and try to get some heat cycles in the RE01Rs by then.

    Thanks to the three of you that voted!!!!!!!!!!
