Tyre wear Wet track versus dry track

Just having a contemplation.

My tyres are borderline legal and currently nursing them till the SIDC on the 11th where I hope to rip the remaining 1.6 mil down to the wire. According to experienced SE'ers this shouldnt be a problem in the dry.

Having had a wee thunk, what is the likely wear rate in the wet, should that be the forecast. Could I bin 1.6mill of tread in the wet?

Tyres will be illegal anyway and new will have been ordered from Wheelsaround so would prefer to get all I can out of the 48's. Methinks the hairpin taken in 1st will help.

tyre wear is almost non existant in the wet

Dude, tyre wear is indeed nada in the wet, esp how you drive!!!

But on a serious note, unless the track dries out on the racing line you aint going to see much wear at all!

i reckon even if it is damp a dry line will appear and you can kill them!
