Melting Slicks
A6's are DOT track tires and R100's are racing slicks. The only reason why more people don't run the slicks is they are assessed a penalty in most club racing classes or simply not allowed in many classes. However, the slicks are superior to the R6/A6 tires in almost every way unless you only time trial and need to turn your fastest lap on your first or second hot lap. I picked up a set of R80/R100 scrubs and ran them in hpde for many days without wearing them out. Once warmed up, they provided excellent grip that never faded in a 30 minute session.

They are slightly more than A6's new, but they will last much longer for hpde. I found a set in great condition that came off a porsche cup car (or something like that) in my sizes that were just left at the track for cheap scavengers like me
