I think my problem is the clutch work to get a fast getway really get's the tourque to the wheels and as VSA's traction control has limitations then there's a lot of tyre slip. Have taken it's easier on this set and I have about 4.5 remaining with 3k to go to the service. If they make it then that will be over 15k since the last change. |
My tyres are Michelin Pilots and I'm pretty impressed with the lack of wear, especially considering my car has been "chipped" !
Do occasionally get wheelspin in first and second gear when going full tilt but doesn't seem to have had a detrimental effect on the rubber.
