right 3mm in 200miles is excessive for tyre wear (even yokis).

so ive tried to work out how to avoid excessive tyre wear:

1) stop standing starts/traffic light grand prixs

2) stop excessive breaking at the "last minute"

3)avoid potholes/dodgy surfaces?

any others? or any advice to minimize tyre-wear?

right. im off to smear them with lard and then a healthy coating of WD40

ps, i almost forgot that new tyres come with a slippy coat on i was about to plant it around a sweeping bend, but i just remembered hew:

Only ever use them in the freezing snow, so they never have a chance to warm up.

You pays your money and takes your choice.
Soft compound = Good Grip = High wear
Hard compound = Fun Drive = Low wear

If you want to race other people you will need a soft compound.

If you want to play get a hard compound (that are half the price of the yokos) ok the car will feel like its on marbles but the Elise can handle it.

Your right G.

ill see how these go, and if im not pushing them to the limit, ill drop a compound.
