Larry,
I ran MPSC on the street this past year and they do not wear quickly on the street. I only put about 2000 miles on them and they where used when I got them (8 heat cycles). Driving the car when the tires are cold was challenging to keep the back end planted (roatated easily) and in heavy rain the car was barely drivable with them on. Traveling down 476 in heavy rain it was difficult to keep the car in one lane and braking was also an experience.
Quote:Glen,
I'm interested in your comment on MPSC wear experience. When you refer to 50 heat cycles, is that 1 session = 1 heat cycle? And any idea of overall mileage on the tires? Maybe that's irrelevant in your situation, because heat cycles, rather than mileage, apparently were the limiting factor, but I'm curious how many miles one might get expect from the MPSCs, e.g., if (though it would be a shame), the DE usage was months apart, and they were used as street tires, with lots of mileage between DE events.
Thanks,
Larry
