My point isn't to bag on Brian. Well, maybe a little. It's to let the OP know that the A or R-6 isn't a tire of choice for long wearing performance. Doesn't sound like he's looking for that anyway.

Truth. You could actually see this over the course of a day in the lap times. Once they'd been cooked a few times, they fell off quick.
On the other hand, nothing could touch fresh Hoosiers. The difference between equivalent Kuhmos and Hoosiers were 3+ seconds a lap...
