Assuming a semi-decent setup (some suspension stiffness, some front camber, minimal toe-in), the A052's reputation as only lasting for 3 laps and only for a few days does not seem warranted to me.

Should also mention, the S2000 had a not-too-huge rear wing and modest front splitter but IMO not enough to really affect tire life. Track-only "race car", but it was ballasted up to 3100+ lb., so not exactly a lightweight race car!
