Hey guys, looking for some help here, having problem with the sauce wearing off the tires too soon. I can average about 9.5 second laptimes for the first 3 mins of a run, then it drops down to about 10.0's for the next minute, but by about 4 and a half mins into the run it seems like the sauce is completely worn off and the car is literally un-driveable.

I've tried saucing for short amounts of time, long amounts of time (up to an hour), and all the way from 1/3 of the front, to the full thing.

The tires aren't coming off the track caked in carpet fibers, really they are usually very clean at the end of a run.

I'm running pink tires all around, 43mm front, 45.5 rear, and our track only allows jack the gripper.

Any ideas on how I can get some more runtime out of the tires?

Thanks!
