After about 3 packs (that was during practice) the front tires got a nice ripple on the inside. So I rotated those to the rear and brought the rears (that still looked new at that point) to the front. After the 2nd qualifier just before the main I noticed the fronts again not only had the same ripple on the inside, but there was a small hole inside the ripple (just one hole). So again I rotated the tires to put the “holy” back on the rear and ran my main race.

Is this the case with the mini that it munches through a set of tires during one race day? I put 3 practice packs and 3 race packs (2 qualifiers and a main) for a total of 6 packs. So is 6 packs the norm for a set of tires?

Thanks for all your help.
