So was at the track yesterday. Half of it in rain. Way too much fun.
Had a scary moment where I lost the tail at around 105. Counter steered, it caught to hard and had to catch it counter steering on the other side. Sliding off into the grass, held on without hitting the side wall, and drove off with my pants fuller than they were before. Last run of the day, and much like skiing, little mentally fatigued, and made a big mistake pushing too much, and brain lapse letting off at the apex. Anyway, bit of a life lesson in there.
But I've digressed already. Doing the pre/post checks, you get to see the Pzero wear. So here was my first half track day wear, and my second full track day wear. In between, I drove the car about 2000 miles.
So you can expect to lose about a 1mm per track day event. And although there is a lot more variation at the different parts of the tire, you lose about 1mm per 2000miles of normal driving.
So under normal conditions, they should be good for 15k miles or so. And maybe 6 track days?
I wonder how the corsas do.
