:confused:
Who are you? What kind of car? What's your experience level?
My gut feeling is if you have to ask, "...if I should get new ones or just finish the season on street tires to learn", then the answer is probably no.

Best to learn on street tires what car can and can't do. Less expensive on tire budget. As you feel you have plateaued with cars ability, then move on to R-comps. If you have daily tires and just run R's for events, go ahead and get some more. If you drive daily, you will get a feel for adhesion through some spirited driving without having to push it. Adhesion levels are obviously better for R's, but care as to how you scrub 'em in and how you take care of 'em while driving hard, is the difference.
I have Es100's, stockers with 615's, and pretty much done V710's on stockers. I made up my mind to finish out on the 615's unless I can find a deal on used R-comps
I would go with the RT615's, ES100's suck more than anything and dead V710's will put in R class where you won't be competitive.
Finish up on the 615s. They were brand new last spring, and the only mileage I put on them was back and forth to Walnut Ridge and Houston for the tours last year. They should be in great shape!
The ES100s are horrible autocross tires, and they wear really fast. Not only will the RT615s be faster and a lot more fun, they'll probably last longer on course as well.
yeah that is what I was thinking. Although I am already pricing R-compunds because it seems after a year or two of being Dead C-stock will have a number of people next year here in the Houston region.Quote:

I can tell you the Houston folks I ran against in CS last weekend for the divisional were quite zippy! :drive:Quote:
