I slid around a bit too much last horse track event with maybe a bit too little air... local tire shop won't flip these as he thinks they'll come apart.
Thoughts? They're rs-3's...

If you DON'T flip it, it's nearly done. If you do flip it, you'll get more out of it before it's done.

Push Harder - Drive as close to the limit of your tires as possible.
Suck Less - Drive something resembling a proper racing line.

That tire was golden for a flip. Probably 3 more events left in it post flip.
