Hey fellas. Trying out cheater ho hos for the first time. What has been your experience for prolonging tire longevity?

i have no idea, but i'm interested in hearing your impressions. what size did you get? what track are you going to be running on?

Bring them up to temp slowly over ~6laps then drive one hard lap. Immediately bring them in and take off. Store them for min 24hrs.

A few moderate pace laps and a day's rest off the car is a common "best practice" if you prioritize life above all other things. Don't slide them during the scrub session.

But they're just a bit faster brand new

Yes and yes.

Ho ho purple crack is a tough addiction to break.

To paraphrase David Lee Roth: I used to have a tire problem, but now I have lots of money.

How many heat cycles can we expect from r7s?
I am leaning towards BFG R1S.
I hear they are as fast or faster, and they last a lot longer than R7.

Mounting R1S for this weekend. Excited

Unless BFG has changed R1S recently I think the "faster than R7" thing is outdated info from comparison with R6...
