When WLRC had the tarmac first relaid, the tyres looked smooth after every run, in fact they looked like they were being run on carpet. But as the tarmac ages and it all gets dusty and dirty it wears them a bit more.

i noticed that west london doesnt wear tyres much now,the old surface would kill the front left within 3 rounds,2002 spashett or drescher cant remember exactly ran cs 27 front left and cs22 on the others,i was thinking along the same lines for amcc,36r fl and 32's on the others,if the 36 doesnt grain then the grip should last longer,whats your thoughts ,is it something worth doing with the current rubber? suppose its one of them things ill have to try out one day
