Was riding the curbs at Combe quite hard yesterday but didn't expect this. eek



Gouge marks down to the cords all the way round the n/s/f.

This due to the tyres being near end of life?

Or just need to lay off the curbs a bit?

Pressures were checked prior to going on track and were bang on recommended.

Tyre age maybe a factor as they predate my ownership of the car.

Just about to get some ns2R tyres fitted and don't wish them the same fate!

To Ben honest never took into account the hot pressures.

I assume the best way to do this is go out for 15mins or so, adjust, then monitor throughout the day?

That being said never had a tyre gouge down to the cords on the 8 previous track days, 3 with these tyres?

In regards to the Bedford mishap, is this part of the revamp they've done?
If so even the old KERB had a gully hidden in it, never hit it myself but wouldn't have liked to.
