Plastic tyres shouldn't ever be used. 500bhp on those, I can predict the outcome.
Chipped to 550, iirc.
Yeah, but he's too gay to use it all.

Which is why cheap, black and round will be fine!  :y                                                                            ;D

You'd need a new set of tyres every day with that under your right foot.
Ignoring failures and punctures, I'll have you know I've never done a road tyre in under 3k. So ner.

Have you actually looked to see if the tyres are damaged ?

Even with the wheels turned it is hard to see the inside.

The front boots are crappy Dunlop Sportmax so I'll be glad to see them go.

My (local indie) garage takes pictures of any failures that can be seen with the naked eye.
