Thanks, G |
I only had the rear step out slightly one time on Turn 2 (SMSP / Eastern Creek for those who have been) after being a bit heavy handed with the throttle. The previous lap I was heavily favouring the left edge and very hard on the corners, I reckon I overheated that side a bit.
Other than that they were totally fine, running 30/30 pressures. I don't have a lot of gear nor tyre warmers, so I wasn't paying close attention - more set and forget.
On the street they are good in the dry and in the wet, no problems with them at all. Metzelers are known for wearing really well. Done about 3 months / 2000km of commuting on them before the track day and there was no visible wear. Could not feel any triangulation on the front or flat spot on the rear.
