Can I do 1 more Track day with my rears RE-11?
 

I don't know if I can do 1 more HPDE track day coming up in Feb 3rd.

I have pretty much no tread left. Any input would be helpful. Thanks!

Also, another question. For Tread measurement, am I supposed to use the wider marker (left side) or the thinner one (right side)?

Lol, that's not tread, I think you won't have enough traction


They're not designed at racing slicks, lol

Here are more pics

thanks for the input! I will get replacements then.

Lol you have more than enough for dry day! Don't change them unless you Need wet tire. Little sketchy for wet driving.

Lol, I'd trust Shamu or Spohn or chrischhorn over my opinion

I'm confused...so will I have enough traction? I think it'll be a dry day on Feb 3rd. I'm gonna be running Hi intermediate group. I won't get to the pt where wires will be showing right?

Oh okay, thanks! Here are my fronts, hopefully I'll have more than 1 day for the fronts...

If its dry, you will be fine. as for which bar to use, I think its whichever is the worst, but you aren't going to blow a tire or anything. I run Hoosiers until the first one cords.

Like a man! Lol

Should be fine. I know of several guys that will shave tires so they can still compete in classes that require a DOT approved tire.

Agreed. Traction wont be worse. Probably better than a new tire on a dry day.

not sure about track days. but they are definitely slower at your tread level in autox for me. still. it is plenty safe, especially given how good your edges look. u will be fine as long as it isn't wet

I see a differences when the edges on these tires wear out. not in the middle so much. I am on re11 #9-12 now

The bigger bar vs small bar is ~0.0300" different in height. The bigger bar is higher & closer to the perimeter of the tire; the bigger bar always reads to be less (worst); this is true all around the tire.

Prior to my last track day @ T-hill:
FD: 0.1295"
FP: 0.1105"
RD: 0.0500"
RP: 0.0350"

Now:
FD: 0.1155"
FP: 0.0880"
RD: 0.0285"
RP: 0.0095"

Ride them until you see a cord, mine only got faster.
