[QUOTE="amorrow, post: 9744638, member: 35869"] Thanks for the great info, Troy. My autocross runs will generally last from around 1 minute (cone course on an old Air Force base) up to roughly 2:20 (area road courses). This is high-speed autocross, so even though I'll be running full laps on road courses, it will be only one lap at a time, with breaks in between. Based on other reviews, it sounded like the Rs wouldn't give me the instant grip I need. Also, while I haven't weighed my car, I imagine it's pretty close to stock weight - only saving some weight on my non-cat x-pipe and MM coilover suspension with original k-member that probably doesn't save much weight compared to stock. So your concern of running the A6 on a relatively heavy car makes me question this tire. I'm really only beginning roadracing, as I've only done parking lot autocross one time - 1 minute lap times on my Pirelli Corsas, and my car did slip and slide (oversteer) quite a bit - I was wondering if the tires were just too cool. I imagine I'll develop my own opinions as I try different tires, but given the additional info I provided, would you consider the V710s probably the best choice for me at this time? Will I get grip without warming them up? Thanks again, Adam [/QUOTE]
