Or do the "budget" thing and watch what the fast guys do who have the money to test. I watch Jonathan Lugod/Sam Strano/Nicholas Barbato/Mike Johnson and others to see which current "cream of the crop" tire is good for this year in terms of street tires.
General consensus (and correlates with my own experience), is the top tier 200 street tires always beat the pilot cups, and honestly were starting to edge in on Hoosier R6 territory (not quite there yet but close). I think an RE71R/Rival S would be the tire to have at only 6 points vs a Hoosier R6/R7. The BFG R1/R1S/A7 are better.
Or you can just keep on keeping on doing what you are doing and thinking "ITS UNFAIR TO BE MEEEEEEEE"
Nope, I don't plan to stay TTF now for sure but it was one of the plans just in case. But I'd rather just go TTE with "slicks" and strip this bitch down as light as possible (new wheels are everything). I don't think it is unfair if it is that fast of a tire. Makes sense why my lap times improved so significantly with the new tires :lol:
Edit: wait I actually don't know now. With modification factor in, on my W/P, I'm sitting at 20.49 and the min for TTF is 19.5.... I'm 18.6 without modification factor of +1.8. Damnit.
Looks like I may be the only one running TTF. Hahaha. Unless I stroke the chief's schlong and allow me to boost (supercharger) or build cams.
