Can you drive on the street, say from Winchester to SP on Proxes R888s? How far is too far?
The offers coming in for CCWs have all been lowballs so I'm going to order two outers and swap inners fr to rr to have square or at least within .5" of square setup. I want throw some DOT r-comps on for fun days and be able to drive to and from the track with them on.
The great thing about a big race tire is that the rich guys use them for a few laps on their C6PorscheViper and then dump them on eBay and various forums cheap.
And a side discussion, when is someone "ready" for r-comps? I don't want to use them so I can win HPDE, The car is too much for a typical street tire and these used r-comps are 1/4 the price of some fancy street tire. The only thing I've read is that they can mask a lot of errors and that's not really good for learning purposes. Any other real downside? Is the "limit" too high for beginners?

I have a little bit of a rub near lock but if you are turned to lock on a track there are other problems already...
