The issue is that Matt, and myself, are trying to seperate our Solo I and Solo II tires, and lump the solo I in with open track tires. Good autocross, non Street-Tire legal tires probably won't last long at track days. |
The problem with that is that Solo 1 is more like Solo 2 than it is like Open Track. Like Dean said, you only do one run at a time in Solo, where you do lap after lap with warm-up and cool-down time at a track day. Solo needs tires that are sticky *now*, not later.
The problem is that a really good autocross tire will chunk at 110 mph out at Lovelock when it's 105 degrees out. So, you have to give up a little at autocross to be good at Solo Trials.
Personally, I think a set of the new Azenis Sports will be my Solo1/2 tires, and the more I think about it, the more I think a set of the old Azenis Sports might be the right tire for track days as well... Those tires just seem to be a great blend of sticky vs. longevity vs. price for everything I want to do, I just don't want to put all that heavy track day heat cycling on my solo tires.
