With two track events per month,(autocross and time-trial), I am going through tires at a fast rate. What is your opinion on which tire will last longer in a track environment,(D.E's, time-trails and Autocross)? The price difference is fairly small, about $10 a tire. And yes, I am aware that over 3-4 some odd sets a year, that is nearly a tire. But if one lasts longer, it will kill any difference.

ps- and yes I have them heat cycled.

Well the A032Rs last longer but they're also more expensive and slower....

So...you'll be paying $150 per tire for an A032R, it'll last a little longer but you'll be slower.

At about $125 for a Kumho Victoracer I don't think they can be beat, they have been the tire on certain National Champ autoxer's cars and also on National Champ SCCA club racer's cars. Absolutely no one is winning anything on Yoko A032Rs. That's my opinion. :)
