ps...jeremy.. i don't think you are getting the answers you wanted.

 

I was running the A048 M compund on my car this year. M is better than MH imo, they don't need much time to heat up and they are pretty consistant, I was doing 30-40mins per session and they worked pretty good for me.

 

Did you turn a competive lap on them?

I mean 4 spare tires might "work pretty good".

Did you pick up time over your last tire? How much?

 

 

Before I run the Yokos , I was running 16" 205/225 Bridgestones RE55S last year and I was doing 1:43 at pacific Raceways last year and times were taken with my lapcom. This year I moved up to A048 215/245 17s with a few more suspension mods and I am hitting 1:40. Sure I got better grip this year. I was running against other s2ki members on the Pacific Northwest region with Michelins and RA1s and their average time is 1:45-1:46.

I will not run stagger set up anymore and I changed my setup to 255 all around and I hope I can do better in coming 2006. Any input will be appreciated.

 

if i were to run the MH A048's as a daily driver approximately how many miles of lifetime am i lookin at?

normal/agressive driving

thanks in advance

 

The MH compound is quite hard. If you drive aggressively, I think they will last you about 1.5-2 years.

 

YEARS!?!

 

My set (MH's) lasts 4'km in the rear.

Street use no race driving.

OEM Bridgestone did it for 16'km in the rear.

 

Sorry 1.5-2 yrs is my opinion. I am running A048M compound and had 8 track days this year, i also run them on the street and they still have a lot of tread. So I assume the MH compound will last longer.
