Tires

Not to flame you, but what is the point that you are trying to bring across, old tires vs. older tires.
What was your conclusion, since it is your test, since you have experience racing, what else have you learned.

Just treat as rx8 as drive in its almost max potential

The detail of video make take years experience to realise~

Btw slick is new just in storage
A050 only use in wet once
So is new too

I’m still trying to figure out what the track myth that you think this solved once and for all actually is.

Can you at least try to state it clearly for us? Because that then might also help clarify what the actual experiment is. Honestly, it’s not being communicated well at all. I know English isn’t your first language and that’s not intended to demean you. Rather, there’s a lack of communication that makes it hard for me, and apparently others too, to grasp what it is you really mean or are trying to say/prove.

Well
Put this way , when I start tracking , 20 years ago
there was always Question for me
How many sec is slick faster compare to Dot tire, or ultra high performance street

Usually u get some thing like 2-3 sec faster
But as some might know tire improve a lot
When I start track Advan DOT tires is A032
Then A038 A048 A050
Not to mention ultra high performance street tire

The performance from those two are getting pretty close from my testing mabe less then a sec
But are stickiest DOT tire A050GS match to slick ?
From my testing and feel , Slick still offer supior grip at exit compare to A050 , as u can see in video

So that why I said it sold myth about DOT and slick

I might try 295/35/18 A050 GS when weather still cold to have more data
