What sort of damage?

[Rob W]

Can I expect from a trackday on my tyres?

I've got a trackday on August 11th at Snetterton, and I'll be using the 595 and the GSXR, but seeing as the tyres on the 595 are virtually brand new, and the rear on the GSXR has only covered about 500 miles it'd be nice not to destroy them in one day. Am I going to be looking at a new set of tyres on both after just a day? Bear in mind, both get used pretty much on a daily basis, so it'd be nice if I could still get some use out of them for a while once I've had my bit of fun.

Cheers,

They'll be fine.

Have fun.

You won't need a new set after, and people seem to greatly exaggerate the amount that trackdays chew up yours tyres and brakes. In my experience it's not a huge difference.

About the same amount of wear as a "spirited" days rideout...
assuming the bike(s) stay the right way up on the track

Judging by your avatar you've got 2ct's on the gsxr.

I got 5,000 road miles and two trackdays out of a rear on my 900ss.

You'll be fine.
