There is no way that a set of tires can last a whole season unles you race 2x the whole season. I just couldnt help myself on 3 seasons...Thats a good one. It reminds me of all the guys that go 18min on a tank of fuel wide open throttle the whole way and then theres all the used engines for sale never heated over 220 and less than 2 gallons on them. I heat my engines hotter than that when I break them in. This place rocks.

I agree I love this site too.

I only run AKA, have alot of them, but racing to win, and doing this almost every weekend. you will not get a year...Not one person that I have seen running these get a season out of them, and we have ALOT of people running them...... But they are the longest last tire out.

I have had many sets of tires last a whole season. I don't run them all the time though. I run whatever tire works on that particular track and day, so no one set of tires will stay on my truck for more than a weekend at a time generally. So I can't really say they last a whole season, but they do last a long time for me.

Racing to win doesn't always mean pulling the trigger in.

as munch as i hate to say it but, starting out in electric first than nitro helps you be smooth on the throttle at lot.

and makes you soft compound tires last longer.
