Only reason I raised the wear pattern is that it doesn't happen to my CRS.
After one day? I think people are glossing over that fact.
I noticed it after track day #2. Could have happened after the first track day and I didnt even notice. I rotate my tires after every event too.
Got it. Still, the CRS don't even show that over their whole usable lifespan for me. I also rotate my tires after every event.
Yet another reason for me to switch over to them.... I only got 4 track days out of the 660s before the inside was down to threads. Sucks cause the rest of the tire is still good. Not even heat cycled out.
Rotate as in front to back left to right or take tire off wheel and swap inside/outside?
Traditional rotation, not flipping on the wheel. My tires heat cycle out before the tread is gone so it's not worth the cost to me.
It's crazy that the CRS is a gripier tire and wears longer.
Funny that you mentioned the lack of modulation with the CSG pads. I keep talking to people that say that using them as like throwing out the boat anchor. I think some of them are confusing initial bite with overall breaking power. Most people, until they get serious, never even bring up modulation.
When I used them I actually thought their initial bite was much lower than Carbotech 12s and were easy to modulate. However this was on a 2750lb GR86 with tiny brakes not a 3400lb Supra and Brembo calipers. I did not want to splurge $1000 this time around.
Kicking everyone's butt AND having an extra $500 in your pocket is a very nice thing.
