I did not know that, very good to know. I hope to do a track weekend at Daytona this fall and if so I would like to swap the rears halfway through as I heard that Daytona is hardest on the right rear tire.

Thanks,

The right front takes a beating too, so we normally swap both tires (F&R) side to side when running the NASCAR banking at Fontana.
