dont do burnouts when spin out and you'll be fine, i normally last with 3 sets for a day no problem !

how ya.answer is depends on thread psi power and driver.we have seen beginners burns tyres off a pair in a few laps but they had a skyline with 350hp 80 psi short ratio diff second gear and a heavy foot.like some people leave tyres out in the rain which can cause delamented and fall a part.so many things i could go on and on but we wont bore ya ha

i was down there with a sierra before same part worns lasted me the day no bother so really all depends on the driver the power and the abuse but great fun dont be worrying about tyres just get a few sets in case and if the car waits goin till there all burned off youl have a day never to forget
