After using racetecs on track, 6 sessions caused it to feel quite hard and was rather skittish around corners after that.

Ha dont worry iv not gone without thinking all the above but for what ill use it for on road it should be reet, iv had a good look around the tyre and cant see any visible damage.

only way to find out is to fit it and go for a spin.

I can't remember if I took a picture of not, but they were rock solid, blue and looked like sand tyres. Laughing

I think G had given them a thorough thrashing before you used them. Laughing
