I still could do a few more practice runs on them too. Imo wgt-r ruined the class, MHIC had i think 4 or 5 of them. Id still run wgt if crc wouldnt have pushed to make it rubber tire.
I am in the same boat, at the MHIC even tiny tires lasted me 2-3 runs on the front, and at least double that on the rear. Rubber tires are unnecessary.

I personally thought that WGT had a bright future, it seemed like a fun class with durable, quick and easy to drive cars on spec tires. The rounded nose bodies made it such that the racing could even involve a little rubbing without both cars getting mangled, I hope it makes a comeback.
