The BP20 is an entry level pad.

How does your rear look? If you went through the fronts in 2 events, you either have a heavy front bias (aka the kit doesn't really balance the front and rear as advertised), or you're way, way beyond the capability of the BP20 (if the rear is at least 50% as worn as the front; it's only a 1100F compound), and possibly both.

Let me know how the rears look, and I can give you guideance on how to proceed.

The XS is gonna be the stickiest of that group, but the AD08R will probably be easier to drive for you...

I was really happy with the xs ku36 this season.
But you always want more, and taught there was a more stickier tier say the (Toyo r1r) but I am going to buy the AD08R and som set of xs ku36 then I can see which one that's suits me the best

About the sizes, I stick with 235.

Primacies.

You won't be able to go fast anyway so no point in chewing up the new tires. If you've never driven in the rain before it will be a great learning experience. A wet track shows no mercy on mistakes.

New tires ... your tire wear will be negligible and it could always dry up

Also if you have the luxury of tire optionality like that I always bring my second set to the track in case I have a blow out or the tire deg is insane and I need to swap out

No sense in wasting precious track time

I will likely take two full-size spares. That and some Centric blanks and a spare set of pads. Need both rear seats for the kids. Taking out the trunk interior leaves a decent amount of room, but not enough for four wheels.

It will be easier than the whole family driving to Big Willow. That was hell. Utter hell.

The fronts lasted about five track days. Just the last few were cold and they seemed to deteriorate fast when not up to temp. The rear pads hardly have any wear.

We need to fix your pad situation.

What's at the rear?
