Dual-drive the car a lot, burn up a set per season, hundreds of laps. 

Performance? Top-notch, but theyre just not cutting it in the 200 treadwear category anymore. 

Might have to switch next season, but for now theyre killing it. Billings MT tracks can be brutal but these tires don’t care. 

They’re a bit pricey but the longevity? Worth every penny.

Wow these  RT660s? Amazing! I got them on my 2017 Honda Fit LX and what a change! The RT615k+ was okay, but these are a whole new level. Crazy good mileage-30000 miles and still kicking! Price is super reasonable too. Use them for both autocross and daily driving in summer, and they handle everything like a pro. East Liverpool OH can be tough on tires, but these? They just roll with it. Only downside, a bit slippery in the rain, but can’t win ’em all, right? Totally happy!
