How many track days on R comps?

desertrat21 · 07-21-2009, 09:37 PM

Hey all, i'm going to be switching to a set of R comps (toyo r888) for track days when my current tires wear out. Just curious as to how many track days most people get from an R comp tire before they cord. I know weather is a variable but i'm just looking for everyones experiences.
Thanks

track layout, level of driving and how hard you push it are other variables to account for.

i had my NT01s on my old car for 3 track days and they had plenty of life before i sold it. i think they might have had like 3-4 more in them.

thanks, anyone else with possibly the toyos have some feedback on how long they lasted

There are too many variables that will affect the wear. Track, track conditions, weather, driving style, power levels, suspension, alignment, etc. That said, my 255/40-17 R888's lasted 5 weekends. They probably still had another weekend in them, but they fell off so much I switched to the NT-01's. The NT-01's don't have quite as much grip as the R888 when both are fresh, but the NT-01's stay more consistent through their life.
