40K ??!!

Maybe I drive my T5 too hard, but I got 12K out of my F1's (Too soft, never again) and 15K out of the conti contacts I have just replaced. Just replaced them with some Pirellis, so will have a wear report on those soon! Haven't had to replace a back tyre yet....

Oh, and when I went to my track day I took some 2.5mm "old" tyres through to the canvas in about 50 miles, is that a record? If anyone wants to see me doing exactly that, then a guy was videoing there and there is about 30 seconds of me at :
