Some call R6s purple crack, since they are claimed to provide traction like no other besides race tires, but they lose traction after about 4 days (16 heat cycles). If the R7 does heat cycle in twice the number of cycles with similar handling, then we could have the perfect tire that provides best traction, and heat cycle out only by the time it's also worn out. Just like the Proxes RR actually!

A lot of questions and assumptions to be tested
