Thanks!
The info below shows how many runs you can get with consistent lap times. If you run the tires longer than listed below they will be 1-2/10ths slower. They will still feel good and be good for practice but they will be a bit slower on the clock.

There are some tracks that have really smooth asphalt and the tires may last longer but this is how long tires will stay fast on MOST tracks.

Any Sorex Tire:

Mod: 1 - 5 min run
19T: 1 to 2 - 5 min runs
Stock: 2 - 5 min runs

Any Take Off RP Series Tire:

Mod: 2 or 3 - 5 min runs
19T: 3 to 4 - 5 min runs
Stock: 4 - 5 min runs

Any Take Off CS Series Tire:

Mod: 4 - 5 min runs
19T: 4 to 6 - 5 min runs
Stock: 8 - 5 min runs

On most tracks Sorex and RP tires are equally fast. These are what you use if ultimate performance is your goal.

CS tires are 1-2/10ths slower on most tracks. Even though they are a tick slower, the CS tires are the most popular tire world wide. Lots of tracks have made it a spec tire to lower racer's costs.
