I may in the future just roll the fenders though...thinking if I buy anything else big for this car it would be a BBK. I am getting tired of fading pads 8-10min into a 20min session. I can't remember the last time I was able to run a 20min session...

FYI the tabs really aren't the trouble area. Its that little lip that looks like it isn't rolled. That is what the tire grabs if it grabs. I know you don't drive the car much but you do track it so it is possible for it to grab.

I bought spare fenders once...then realized it was a PITA because of their size and how flimsy they are and I didnt need another project haha! Sold the fenders and said screw it.
I actually have a lot of clearance from the tire to the lip..obviously accidents happen and it would suck, but I am pretty confident based on how hard I have pushed that I will not catch the lip on track. On the street I am uber careful going in and out of sloped entrances.
Again though...baby steps...some day I will probably fully roll the fronts...

^False. it is any time the front wheels are turned and the suspension is compressed. IE going into driveways or hard cornering on the track. The tread on the tire grabs very easily going forward under the right circumstances.
