What is your saucing routine and cleaning routine? There may be something there causing premature breakdown.
unfortunatly its runs. This is in no way an uncommon thing in the black carpet world. I clean the tires with lighter fluid. I sauce them about 5 minutes before I run them and I wipe the sauce off right before the run. I use sxt. The tires swell and once they swell the car handleing starts to go wonky. So you either chase a setup all day long and never really get it or you just put fresh rubber on. For me it is much simpler to put fresh rubber on and imo tires are a consumable and definatly needed often.
