Default How many 20 min sessions at Watkins Glen do you think I can get out of these R888s

The fronts are better. These rears are down to where the grooves are disappearing in the center section. I wanted to mount a set of Nitto NT01s but they are on intergallactic backorder and I can't come up with them before my event next week.

I can live with any loss of grip/performance and still have fun. I just don't want to get caught with corded tires and can't do all my sessions. I may also need to drive the car on the street a distance after the event. Weather looks to be fine. Obviously and rain and I'm screwed.

None.

Don't think of taking the risk... This is a very high speed track and those tires are dead.

Four or five more, I'd bet. They look pretty evenly worn.

We used them on the cayman. You could drive them until slick if you didn't mind cycled out tires.
