Default Another R1S data point

I have used two sets so far, the first lasted 28 HC and second went 30HC.
In both sets they were surprisingly good with 25+ HC, but on the first run of the next day their grip was way off - both cases it was most evident under braking. I still like them.

Is it a requirement to remove these tires from the car after the track day is over? In other words, can you park the car on these tires without flat spotting them or causing some other type of problem? I only live 20 min from my home track, and I just acquired another track car on which I'd like to try these tires. At the moment I'm out of storage space for adding another set of spare wheels. It would be nice to leave these tires on the 2nd car permanently. The 2nd car is a completely dedicated track machine and will only ever get used on the track, apart from the 20 min drive to/from track/home.

fbirch, with all my track tires I leave them on the car till the next event. I add air up to around 40 pounds and I've never had a problem.

Anyone tried these in Florida. It's like 100 degrees on track. I'm guessing not good.
Maybe 1 or 2 laps in time trial (although I am doing tt3. So i might try them for a pb ) or auto cross

Just a heads up to everyone we have the best price in the country on the BFG R1 and R1S, and for a short time, when you buy 4 tires you get a $70 Mastercard from BFG also. Give us a call!
