I'm just trying to get an idea, from those of you that have already replaced them, how long the rears lasted? I know this is very subjective dependant on driving styles, track use etc, but it will help.
The reason I ask (and the factors are); obviously we're off to the 'Ring in August but after that I may well be off on a 2.5k mile Euro trip, to Spain, then back to UK. At present my car has done 3k miles, rears have lots of tread left (approx 5mm?). I now won't be doing any track days in this car before the Ring and it won't be used that much tbh. I'm wondering how much life the Ring will take out of the tyres and if I should order some to be fitted somewhere in the south of France on the way to Spain, for example. Or just have some fitted in Germany after the track day?
