The thread title is from an article at Tire Rack about shaving tires.

I have never used r-comps, just max performance PS2s on stock wheels. Now I'm considering putting Michelin PSCs on a set of Apex track tires in a month or so. But what does this quote mean?

once used, all tires will be much less effective during the next competition season. Therefore we recommend that tires be shaved to a depth that is sufficient to last for no more than one competition season.

I'm not interested in giving up tread life for the last bit of performance. But would r-comps I buy this year deteriorate so much in winter storage that they'll suck when I try them again in April or May? Should I wait until then to buy the PSCs?
