Additional Notes
s578 "hard" compound:
· For the budget conscious track day user. Sufficient
to last for 4 to 6 track days depending on driving habits.
s575 "medium" compound:
· For the competitor or enthusiast, desiring to get
the best possible timings.
To prolong tyre life due to extreme camber wear, the TYPE
RR can be rotated between left and right, though this will
deteriorate the tyre's performance in the wet.
To get optimum performance from the tyres, 'scubbing in' of
tyres is highly recommended.
