I've done 6 meetings (plus loads of practice at Ardent) on one set on the Scorpion, for a 2wd she is super easy on the tires as the rear end works so well.

The FS2 though ruined, I mean almost bold, a set of rears in just a couple of runs at Broxtowe. All that extra rear end rotation is coming at the expense of the rear tires life expectancy I think with the setups we have now. MUCH more work is needed to get her right on carpet for me at least.

I intend to try a few things if I get chance before Petit but failing that I will be running my old faithful FS set up and the FS2 bits will be in the box for further testing.

Will be back on my normal e-mail on Tuesday mate, will chat then.
Hey Roger,

Yeah it's for the FS2 the front's i can get 3-4 meetings on them but the rears are knackered after about good 40mins of running. But when i run at Worksop, i can get another whole meeting on them use these at Chadderton. It's mainly when running on carpet i think (maybe just how aggressive I'am when driving) know when i ran Broxtowe once my tires was shagged after one days meeting too.

On the RB5 i can get about 3-4 meetings on these, never had problem tbh.

I reckon at the Petit, be going through two sets of tires for the 4wd Sunday.
