are those the stock tires?

 

yea

 

wow, what was your PSI set at?

 

There's no warranty on wear items.

 

40 all around. but i didnt check with those nifty gauges. just used the one at the gas station..

 

Now you have an excuse for an extra set of rims and hoosiers!

 

out of how many runs? were your tires in good condition before?

 

Yup, my tires were in flawless condition before. I mean they were about as good as the day I drove it off the lot.

Was it my driving style that caused this? Because all 4 tires seem like theyve been rubbed hard. It's not smooth wear it's like fragment like. For example, one small area might be missing a small chunk. Like pits, I suppose.

Was PSI the culprit? What would cause this? LOW PSI?

 

This was after 3 runs.

 

Bad move...those things are very inaccurate. I filled up to 40 psi once, checked it before the autox (with the tires cold) and I had almost 50 psi...

 

haha, did you ever sell your rims and hoosiers?

 

So what can I do at this point? scrap them?

 

Welcome to motorsports my friend. The RE-010s are not good for track/autocross. They chunk. But yours aren't really trashed yet.

Just rotate them and keep using them until they get down to the wearbars or until they cord.

 

i agree with BPR, ive seen a few R owners who had their RE010's chunk up at the track..

 

Sold the rims but still got the hoosiers in the garage. I guess I was asking too much for the hoosiers Heh.......

 

how do you like em? theyre the S303's? or something like that..

 

Ah..........another one with tires that looks like mine.
Tires gotta go bro........S03 or Azenis.

 

lol my tires look like that too after my recent autoX. they are all chewed up on the outter edges.

 

They are awesome to put it simply. The car just sticks to the ground. They helped me go a lot faster also! With my stock tires I was hanging in the middle of the pack, but after the hoosiers i was getting some solid second place runs. I wish we didnt have one of the division leaders here though
