RF Tire at Dover

  Has anyone managed to get a setup that can last 70-75 laps without
the right front tire going.  I've tried everything I can think of from
shifting weight to the rear, softer shocks, and tire inflation but the
darned thing keeps going until I'm pushing into the wall.  I'm using
basically the same driving style as listed in http://www.racesimcentral.net/,
and close to the same setup.  After 40-50 laps the car is pushing and
soon I'm getting lapped, or I end up in the wall.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

this is why they call it the MONSTER MILE....i dont even think in real life
the cars go much further than that before having to pit....the track is known
for burning tires....you may try letting off the throttle going into turns
1 and 3, it may help a little.

    Well, the problem is that the computer cars can go 70-75 laps
without pitting.... sooo that makes 45-50 laps quite unacceptable.
Anyway I did manage to finally win the track today at 100%.  I got
lucky with where the cautions landed and I took it easier going into
the corners.  I still think the grip level may be set to low for this
track, because the computer cars can last forever and no matter what
setting I use I the RF is fading after 50, even when taking it easy
IMHO. Thanks for the help :) !
