I'd like to know what type of tires the TTOD guys were running. Or is that a trade secret?

Firestone Destination M/T

I'm interested in hearing/learning more about your experience (and JHP's and MG's) with them.

Hey Tom,
They were great for the first 3 run sessions.
From there they were good for the first 4 or 5 laps.
After that they would get hot, air pressures crept up and they would feel loose in T2.
Nitrogen didn’t seem to help.
They still might be the best DOT R rated tire for a TT single car timed event.

JP may be comparing the 710s behavior to slicks.
Racing slick performance would be a lot to expect from any DOT R rated tire.

I am running used Toyo RA-1's. Other than being heavy, I love them. Have not tried the Yokos' (maybe for my birthday my wife will buy me a set).

I'm comparing them to Hoosiers and to Mich Pilot Sport Cups, both of which I prefer to Kumhos (and the Cups will last twice as long).

Yeah I agree the Hoosiers I got from JC did not drop off like the 710s after 5 laps.
The Hoosiers were used and a smaller size too.
Between the two I couldnt say which would be best for a TT 1 lap warm up timed run event.

I'd be happy to loan you my used up Hoosiers for timed runs

Not that I am TTOD but I use Pirelli P-Zero slicks (D6/D5 and D5/D4 compounds front/back). Work well and hold up pretty good also. They just raised their prices though as they were the same price as Hoosiers for the past three years, not anymore (((

Here is another screen shot with track map comparing both my time trial laps. It appears there is someting wrong with the results or my data acq because the PCA results say I ran the exact same lap time of 1:31.61 twice which is not what the data acq says. It says 1:31.614 and 1:31.539.

Kary, I think the turn numbers are incorrect starting with 5 through and including 7. Not that it really matters.

Robert,
My track map used the optional map generated from the accelerometer data from a lap. I have not created a manual track map where I set the segments. I am not sure there is really any benefit to malibh it exact to the track since I am comparing against my laps. Even comparing to other peoples laps if I use tgeur raw data and my map I can compare in a relative manner that tells me what I want to know. So far I have learned quite a but about my driving from this tool and I have a feeling I have another couple of seconds at willow in me with more practice with the data.

Sorry if this is a mispelled mess but I am in line at Disney world without my glasses using a blackberry.
