I always have used, almost slicks, Gravity Spec USGT tires handy. Sometimes worn out tires work better, so i save all my winter carpet tires for summer asphalt racing.

Thanks for the info. See you next week.

Sorry, i missed the part you need to buy tires at the track. Good luck at 1Up.

In USGT (1) set of tires is all you need for 30 runs

if you want to be slower, Yes

so what’s your take on how long they are good for?

I’m curious to hear this answer as well……

one raceday! Go ahead ask me how I know

So as a disclaimer, apparently if where you race is sprayed the tire wear drops dramatically, Here in Seattle at our SeaTac track we’ve quite good traction, our RD refuses to spray, so as a result we are compelled to buy a fresh set each and every weekend.

So feel lucky and go buy some lotto tickets, and please by all means send some compassion our way.

So you may get 30 runs, But! Here not !

we were only getting one maybe two race days depending on track temp. 6-10 runs usually.
we have a very abrasive track and don't spray.
we also quit using the gravity tire and have switched to the sweep d spec threaded, longer wear and better traction

Guess we are spoiled out here as I get 20-25 runs on a set. Some of these runs are 5 min quals and 8min mains. Practice is always race conditions so 5min and a lap.

Do you run the Gravity gray belted USGT tires on carpet where you are at? If so, I find that these are horrible on asphalt compared to the regular non-belted Gravity USGT tires.

Yes, Gravity belted gray rim tires. They spray where we race. I don't find them loose, if that's when you mean by horrible. I also have a couple of sets of non-bleted spec tires. I will try them too in a couple of weeks and let you know.

spray or not the gray rims are considerably slow lap time wise compared to the non-belter

The new version of the ride USGT tyres do not balloon or swell up, last a lot longer on asphalt, and are very good. To date I have not seen a belted version and I don’t think you would need one.

pirate the release of these we were running to sweep as well because it was lasting longer.
