I've had this tire discussion with 9 million guys... they all have something to say... and I'll 100% guarantee that not one of them has ever checked their tire temperatures - or used a durometer... or have the right air pressure -- it's all hearsay and someone told someone one time about this guy they know. Ron, however, is using all his magic tools to guide me and the car... so I'll go with what HE KNOWS... not what someone else. I'll give the A6's a shot - if they come up to temp too quickly - he'll know it - and we'll do something different.
BTW -- if you think the A6's are soft - you should feel what the Yoko A005's feel like for the Lotus! Chewing gum on a hot sidewalk.... You'd think these wouldn't last 2 laps -- but my buddy that actually IS the Lotus Cup Unlimited Champion says that's what I should be running.... Since he's the US Champion in the same car -- I'll go with it. At $1800 a set... they gotta last more than 2 sessions!

The A6's will come in within half a lap. That's what makes them nice. There also about a second faster than the R6's and typically the 3rd or 4th lap would be there fastest lap. After that they just came in because the tires would get slick and there times wouldn't get any better.
But hey, I'm willing to let you prove me wrong on your dime.
