I'd say I'm typically around 3% slower on street tires (treadwear 100) than the fastest guys running on racing slicks (same class of car) and I was wondering whether one would gain 3% just by switching to racing slicks alone.
All cars in the US appear to run on DOT-approved racing slicks - is this due to the rules applicable or because of tire availability?
(Avon is for instance a brand which is often applied around here and is also available in very soft compounds:
