Once up to temp I bled the tyres down to 40 again and carried on.

Can't say that this helped any - check out the pics

So that'll be two new tyres again then will it?

I found Bruntingthorpe to be by far the worst track day I've done for tyre wear. My Kumhos were holding up really well until I did Brunty
