That really puzzles me! Why do people have such opposite experiences with
tire ware at the same site? We ran a brand new set of Michelins at the
tour. 2 drivers, 12 runs, 1 spectacular spin. The car weighed in at
3200lbs without the driver, so I wouldn't call it a lightweight. The tires
were barely used. In fact, I used the same tires for 15 more really hot
track sessions and I still have life left in them.
So what gives?
