1 hot lap in, RE71R's are already melting for me. Of course, if they're already heat cycled out and rock hard, instead of melting away, they'll just chunk or shred instead.

It wasn't a dig on you. Some drivers can run fast laps without overheating or killing tires, etc. That's just how it is. And I'm not saying I can do this.
The car is very clearly quick and I can see how it overheats tires, particularly the RE71 and A7. Both tires have similar peak temps at ~140*. Mostly stock lower power cars, and newer drivers in faster cars can use them with success. Even skilled drivers in faster cars have also used with success. But throwing the entire line of tires out for everyone at the track is disingenuous at best.
Perhaps the SX2 has a much higher temp threshold, maybe more similar to an R7 at 180-200*? I bet it's a rock for a street tire.
