I was surprised at how little they weared. However, you can't see it from the pics but the inside edge of the fronts was worn down to be questionable legality.....

the rear is the only one you can compare well from the photo - but there seems quite a big difference - the little 45 degree cuts are clearly visible on the before - but are almost gone after the track work....

..... yes the subject is very sad.......that's the kind of thing my wife always complains about...when I disappear off to the garage to look at the wheels or something..."WHY?? - did they fall off?" she shouts.

One thing Andy, I suspect that the fronts have worn the inside a bit more because you did a lot of laps before training. Did the instructor get you steering far less and using the power more?

My (admittedly hazy) memory had the inside of the fronts quite worn after the morning 3 sessions. I'm pretty sure we had a good look just after lunch.

It wil be interesting to see the tire wear next time on the track - now you're a better track driver.
