Tyre wear

How well do these H rated qualifiers last on trackdays? I can normally get 4 days plus road miles from a set of sport smarts on my YZF, will I get 4 days out of a new set of qualifiers at Cartegena?

Depends on how you ride. I used a new set for every race meeting but some have done a full year on one set. You will deffo get one front for two if not three rears. The level of grip is outstandng all things considered.

One front and two rears for your 4 day's IMO (providing it doesn't rain)

Last year it was 4 sets, so a set every other meeting and they still had enough lie in them to sell on as scrubs for £40 a set.

I maybe mistaken but I think Ghostie may have done a whole season in Class B with one set of tyres
