GT tracking tire wear

[dmann]

Looking to get an estimate/average of how long a set of fronts last for my model with stock alignment from folks that track their non ACR(at a beginner level).

Depends on so many things that you can't really say with any certainty. Particularly if you don't have ABS (flat spots).

Factors include: Track surface abrasiveness, track surface temp, amount of friction and brake heat you generate, HOT inflation pressure, what percent of the lap you are cornering, how many G's you can pull consistently, whether your alignment compliments your ability to load the tires, how long the sessions are, and on, and on, and on...

Assuming all this, and that you expect to drive home on the same tires, say 3 track weekends.

On my 2015 SRT ran five track days at CMP, in South Carolina and currently have 13.5K miles on the Viper. Will be getting new fronts from John B after the winter. Rear tires are in great condition. After the third track day, was switch the front tires to even out the wear...the driver's side was worn a lot more than passenger front. Tires were P Zero not Corsa. A friend has a TA2, ran same track with Corsa, a whole lot softer tire, we ran the same speed, his Corsa had very uneven wear after a two-day session. Enough that he purchase another set that weekend. The P Zero is a great tire for this track, hard enough compound to last several sessions, but also good enough for traction as the track is not all that fast top speed 130ish I think.

thanks for the good feedback

Will also greatly depend on how you are driving, are you turning the wheel past the needed angle? Turning to fast leading to a push? Late braking and pushing into the turn first? Or are you a smooth calculated driver that manages tires and can feel what they are doing.

I am more the smooth and calculated type.

What others have said, I started on the P-Zero's not the Corsas, and I burned up the front passenger side in one and a half track day. I was a beginner and that track is really rough. Then I put a fresh one on and ran AMP, Hutchinson and Road Atlanta and still got a lot of miles out of it. Then finally swapped to Corsa when I felt like I needed a bit more without going full on track tire and they have made a huge difference for me.
