| I see what your saying Andy but to honest they feel fine on the road and i dont worry about them (except in the wet), i'm just wondering if i'm missing something somewhere! WJB in his briefings always says that you should make sure you have loads of tread left. What i dont want to do is put a nice new set on ready for holiday time then wreck them on the track.
I know that in certain car racing series where you have to use road tyres they have scrubbing machines which take new tyres down to 1mm of tread so they still have a pattern but the tread blocks are so small they dont move around much so it must be okay?
At the end of the day all the grooves do is allow the tyre to displace water. A damp track wouldn't matter as long as the tyre was hot would it? Its only in standing water where it might be a problem.
I dont know much about tyre technolgy, racing and trackdays are a learning curve for me! |
