I had 4 track days on my OEM tires before I blew a tire on a curb. Other than the outer edges being shredded, there was plenty of tread left. Then I mounted 2 of the tires back onto the rear of the car for a day on the skid pad. Even after a few hours spinning out and doing figure 8s on the skid pad, the tires STILL looked they had tons of life left.

Has anyone managed to cord the OEM tires??

I suppose we will... eventually...
