LMAO....yeah 5 sets will easily cover it Ian.....you would get away with 3 or 4 imho........

They really do last well and even when they go " off " a bit they still offer good grip with progressive slides..they dont just let go......

Brilliant tyres imho......

what class with Dp.?.......

My tyres where 2 seasons old (+ trackdays) and still good enough for pole position at Cadwell, although they were breaking into progressive slides when being pushed at the end

exactly....even when pushed they slide with great feedback...they dont snatch..!..

thats on a 583...my brief excursion on the 620 race at cadwell highlighted to me that the 620 will need a tyre change more often than the 583.....as i say i reckon 3 sets will see me through the 620 season......
