How do these track tires look?

Bridgestone RE71-RS. I believe 6 full track days. Appear to have decent amout of rubber left. They definitely have dropped off on pace since new as expected. Trying to figure out if I want to spend the $$$ for a new set for my two Laguna Seca track days in late March and May. Thanks.

Ha! Will do. Laguna is harder on brakes than tires 😀

Those have LOTS of life left in them! They look just scrubbed in.

Yep, and really evenly wearing with surprisingly little extra wear on outside shoulders.

By the looks of it, you have another 4-6 track days left in your tires.
Unless you start pushing harder!

HTH,

They’ll easily survive two track events. Although they may have lost peak grip from several heat cycles but at least the falloff isn’t as bad as a R-comp or race slick. I find using heat cycled tires a great opportunity to work on car control skills and I then find a little improvement in lap time the next time I install new grippy tires. Rainy conditions with heat cycled tires are the only thing better for car control training.
