Depends on the track / airfield. This one is very good. You would hardly know I've been, and in 2k of road driving you'd never know it.

Other places can and do shred tyres, it's really a case of listening or asking. We try to avoid the real tyre killers or make people aware. That said if your smooth ('m not) then tyre wear is not as bad as your not ripping the tyres/ sliding them.

It should be said for an airfield this was near track quality and tracks rarely eat tyres.

Unfortunately, on close inspection my front tyres have taken quite a hammering, but you wouldn't notice, the wear is very even across the whole of the tread and no rolled edges, so they are actually quite close to the minimum depth now. But that would be something to do with an LSD and 330+ bhp of power fighting for grip. Back tyres are not too bad at all, all things considered .

My fronts were bald with a distinct scrub line on the right side of both tyres. Glad I brought spares!

compared to past brunters my tyres are fine. Backs look like they havent see a track. Fronts have worn a bit but still got enough tread left to last a while. You notice the side have worn on the fronts. All 4 where replaced in march.

As you know my tyres were boarderline when I started the day but they held out remarkably well. Bought a set of 4 part worn Michelin Pilot Sports with between 5-6mm tread on Ebay for £20 (you heard right, just a fiver each!!) and Kwik Fit fitted them for £30, bargain

I've heard of wide-angle lenses, but I've never seen a 45 degree angle one before

Just kidding - nice pics
