are you talking about Toyo Proxes RA (which is a R compound tire ) i just bought mine , got a good deal on them .. non shave so they last a bit longer ( not going for track records , so i dont need every single bit out of them.. which you get once shave ) excellent track tire , among hoosier , kumho 700 victorracer and sport cups ... have heard nothing but goof reviews .. will put them to test at the track of SOW , at the EOC event :wink:

Goku-

If they are not shaved they will peel bad unless you heat cycle them...they are not like regular tires.

V700 that are shaved usually last 4-6 days unshaved can go in 1.

Have them shaved and heat cycled that will make them last longest

that is assuming the ones you bought have 7-8mm tread depth and not 3-4 mm depth

measure them? if they need to be shaved and cycled it can be done at the track.

BTW which run group are you in?
