Default 10,000 miles and 7 track days with RR Racing USRS. Tire wear results!

Hey guys ! I installed the USRS And added a fresh set of ADO8Rs to gear up for the busy track schedule I had set. Just wanted to show the effectiveness I have had in saving the inner edge of the front tires . When I initially installed the USRS it was really for steering and brake feel and feedback . Well it turns out it really does what it was designed to do! At my last track day my telemetry data showed 28 stops from 132 mph to 70-75 mph in the first three sessions alone. I think from the looks of the tires the dynamic toe issue of the ISF is solved

HERE ARE WHAT THE FRONT TIRES LOOK LIKE .

Yep, they definitely get the job done. I've done three track days with the upgrade and my front tires are still wearing evenly.

A mandatory upgrade for every IS-F, IMO (whether you track or not).

Those tires look amazing. One of the photos look like there is a number of bumps/ orange peels on the tire. Is it from off road driving?

Is your ISF lowered by any chance?

Bone stock suspension minus the USRS and rear $140 F sport sway bar. The orange peel is normal with any track use. Its like piece of the tires come off unevenly

Prepare the smile Sameer !!! They hold up and then hold up and then hold up more. You can beat the everliving **** out of these tires and they will just smile and pick their teeth. They arent joking when they say "EXTREME PERFORMANCE ". Leave that max performance stuff to the rest lol. For my driving style they last just as long or longer than the PSS. Only negative is they are a little noisier than the PSS. Makes no difference with the exhaust

The USRS or Figs bushings should be the first mod anyone put in these cars. It will eliminate the front inner tire wear and basically double the life of the front tires.

I am 100% factory setting and stock suspension minus the USRS and rear sway bar.

The ISX50 and ISF's are plagued with the issue . Both Figs and RR Racing have created solutions to this issue. We all owe them for this
