As always,great job breaking it down and great info on this subject it took me years to figure that out ! Wish you were doing your videos a few years ago
I run in northwest Florida where the tracks have red clay with a lot of grip much like the Jasper track you where referring to. Most everyone around here eat up the left rear tire much faster than the rest. We try to keep the left rear around 10 points higher than the others and that definitely helped us. Everyone here uses maxxis, vega, or Hoosier (Grooves) but I've wanted to try the burris or Hoosier slicks to see how they compare. Once again Ben thanks for all the words of wisdom. Much appreciated 👍
I’m going to have to agree with other commenters. I do wear out a LR before right sides. Keeping the duro 8-12pts higher on the LR definitely helps but at a sacrifice. We do This on our vega and cobras. I will say the cobras last me about half the time of a vega but it’s expected.
@@papaclod-hopper1976 we have gone as far as 15pts harder on the LR. Like I said it comes with sacrificing something els. But if you think about it, it’s all in tuning right? There is always more than one way to get the job done. I definitely don’t suggest 15 though lol. To hard to tune out up here in ND.
For some reason I’m wearing out my LR tire sooner than the rest. Then again it may be because I only run those tires on a very small bull ring style track. Lots of sliding and spinning rear tires on corner exit.
Thanks again for the info. Could you reference one of your videos in case I missed it, on hub spacing? Before going to a new track how do you decide on front hub spacing and rear hub placement? Thanks.
I havnt really ever mentioned it. I basically just make sure I don’t hit the steering on the front and make sure the rear doesn’t hit the frame. I know some people tune with it but I really Havnt played with it much.
Enjoy your videos keep posting 🏁🏁🏁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
🙏 can do!

No doubt. Learn as you go is always a tough path. At least a little direction helps greatly.
I've learned a ton from watching your videos keep them coming. Thanks from Renegade Racing #82 🏁
Thank you very much.
I don't know if you ever been to GKK but it is a hard fast track. Might want to bring some new tires. Looking forward to see you there.
I have not. And they are are in order 😁

I kinda figured I was gonna get various
different results on this. My location and what what we do to tires greatly varies wear.

When I run my vega’s and cobras I tend to do the same thing with duro. I haven’t gone as far as 12 points but I may give it a shot now.

Very well could be. I should have mentioned different surfaces and areas are going to effect wear.

What size was the VEGA tire in the middle..?
I’m assuming the 6.0 is what you’re talking about. 8.00 or 9.00, 6.0, 4.5 are the sizes
50 laps LR is half gone
High cross karts are pushing down on The LR pretty hard.
