Don't forget that new tyres take a bit of scrubbing in to remove the (release agent) coating before they work properly. Just in case you were thinking of getting new tyres fitted at the circuit to use on track.

Oh yes. I'll stay on the SO3's then, but doubt if there is enough tred left for a full 6 hour day for me.

Thanks.

You can wear the release compound off on track too If the tread on your current tyres is already very low, they will likely be offering less grip than designed anyway.

Maybe a couple of burnouts (when the marshalls aren't looking) will do the trick

Bugger, that many? Hmmmm, I might need to ask you to do them for me!

I am not after more so3's really as I have a kindly donated set of A048's in the garage ready fro the warmer weather later in the year. I will keep my so3 fronts and then put them back on with new so3 backs next winter.

Paul,

I was referring to my level of driving skill whilst driving with limited grip during the scrubbing in phase! Might need your tuition!

The chap at Brands told me that if there's frost or similar they spray the track with some non-corrosive material to clear it.
