Here's s pic of my A050 that put an abrupt halt to my AM session.

That's interesting. To be fair these tyres I bought relatively cheap with a late 2011 manufacturing date. Combined with asking the tyre to do a heap of work under load on a FWD with 300Kwaw it does happen.Originally posted by Water Boy View PostComment

I think heat cycles and pressure is what people have been saying is critical for a good life.Originally posted by grandturismo View PostComment

Alan, what session did the tyre let go in? I'd be less surprised in the first session given the low pressure, though I don't think it was the first session...
Counting down the weeks till my current tyres are knackered and Kumho V70A's go on. I'm expecting TA in August will be their last outing, which means some silly stuff between now and than

Couldn't agree more. I was also told to avoid ripple strips until tyres are at optimum temps.Originally posted by Water Boy View PostComment

QLD - Timeattack 2015
During 3rd session after 4th lap which incidentally was my fastest lap. I really think I was on track to beat it heading into turn 6. Pressures at 30psi.Originally posted by seangti View PostAlan, what session did the tyre let go in?

I'd put those good tyres on for next outing and flick the knackered ones.Comment

I'll be keen to hear how the joint sprints with the 86 Club go today.
Seems like a good day for it with cool dry air and no clouds.Comment

none of us went.Originally posted by team_v View Post
i was going to join until i realised they run 20 cars at a time with cars / drivers doing variety of lap times.. some are surely fast though.
timeattack does it 10 cars at a time and group is based on lap times.
i prefer to focus on driving instead of overtaking when doing timed laps.
