Track tire life
What kind of tire life are you guys getting out of your track tires? Also what are you using to determine when a tire is done....feel on the track, or are there any visual indicators?

You can squeeze 6-7 (give or take) track days out of a rear before it hits the wear bars (visual indicator).

I have done 8 track days with 6 1/2 races on the Pirelli combo. I still have life in the front, but for piece of mind I switched out both front and rear. My rear was really close to the wear bar on the left side. My tire guy said I could have flipped it to get a little more life. Wish I would have known that a little sooner.
