Took the WRX to T-Hill on Saturday finally~!!!!
-AVG'ed about a 2:30-2:35, fastest I think was a 2:29.
-Cooked the pads oh well
-S-Drives hold better than expected but still not as grippy as other tires I've had
Last Session of the day, best quality watch at 3:00 for an oopsie
Cooked Porterfield pads after a session
Morning
Tires don't look to bad!
Lessons learned
-How my car handles as is on the street
-Controlling brake/tire heating and wear
-Where the car can use some improvements for next time
-Learned why the Tein Circuit Master Type RA work on the track not street haha
-Got to a near target time that I wanted

Tires look barely stressed, hardly any feathering. I'm pretty suprised. What psi hot were you running? Were you pushing hard at all? I chewed up my stock sp600 which were not bad for track, but they did chunk a bit. Was picking tire bits out from wheel wells for couple weeks lol.

Goodybye to the Pirelli P6 Four Seasons...had a near blow out..entire sidewall (inner) was torn to bits with a gash about 1/2 the perimeter of the tire...overall, the P6s sucked ****..never will get them again. My old Falken Azenis (summer) performed better in high wind and rain than the P6s.
hello to the Continentals Extreme Contact DWS..hoping to make it to Tahoe with the kiddies this season...hear a lot of goodies about this tire.

Yea did it by myself, driver side rear was the most annoying but with patience and removing the air box i got it replaced. Few more scratches on my hand than planned. Havent noticed any issue with redline but will most likely switch back to oem since i plan on doing my intervals at 1500 or so.
