CR500's, how many heat cycles?

[boss351]

Wrong side of the pond to get a new set of CR500's in click of the fingers. As so to order with anticipation, how many heat cycles/track days are you generally getting out of the CR500's. I am up to 12 cycles right now and the last session was as good as the rest if not better.

Thanks,
Adam

My experience was like you - they held up really well over the first 15-20 cycles and then a slow delcine untill they were worn out. But using some a couple of years old was very a different story . . . . age kills them.

Edit: I got about 1000 track miles out of them

I got about 5 track days out of my last set. They were giving good grip until well past the wear indicators, I only took them off once I had a chunk of rubber come off and could see some of the canvas.

I tend to drive mine on the track more than the road. Mine last until they are worn to death with no noticeable reduction in performance. Not had a set for longer than 2 years, so can't comment on age issues.
