There's all sortsa potential reasons why. One of which is, maybe these tires *aren't* garbage after 2 laps....
And it is *1st hand* info, which again is more than you can provide!

I wasn't trying to attack you (despite you taking it that way), but data doesn't lie, and I'll take a much larger sample set over your single reference.
Right, data doesn't lie, and I provided mine. So let's see your lap time info.

FWIW i was kinda joking and trying to give you a jokey sanctimonious "How DARE you sir!"

My opinion is far from isolated too... they aren't called one lap wonders for no reason.
Your opinion is based on the experience of others, though.

Anyway for 90% of the cases where someone lacking experience is asking for info, it is most likely not pertinent if tires lose a few tenths after 3 or four laps in the hands of an expert driver.
