never autocrossed on r-compounds. hell i have only autocrossed one time in my life. to me, there just isn't enough time to get a true R-compound tire up to operating temps in a 60 second lap, at autox speeds. If you could go heat up your tires then jump on course, sure that would make it much better.
On the skid pad I literally did figure 8's for about 7-10 minutes trying to get heat into them. After that like I mentioned, I put the car on stands and left it over night. I know guys that mount up R-compounds, drive the car down the hwy and back for about 15 miles and then put it in the air. They claim that works, I have no idea.
