Most of the tire reviews I watch evaluate the front tires. While the rear tires are mentioned, the rears are not a major factor.
I am sure that when a manufacture evaluate tires they give all 4 tires equal consideration.
Objectives:
To win a race, one tenth of a second count.
To win HPDE, value has more weight.
If I want to "win" a second day at NYST, meaning finishing up 7x20min, I cannot only think about two tenth of a seconds.
My right front will be delaminated if I am on 100% throttle on the long left T-6. So I need to rotate the car in a specific place by driving more like a V and getting off the throttle and on again.
It may not be the fastest way. With Hoosiers I can be on the throttle without understeering, but there goes $500/tire.
This is what I mean goals. Typically my goal is to maximize my driving time and drive my best, and secondary do my best lap time. But a time attack driver goal would be to go fastest for one lap.
If i drove 7x20 min i met my goal
If Time Attack got a PB by one tenth, he met his/her goal.
The choice of tires, and how to use them is directly be affected by the usage.
