Trackday tread

[ducatismo]

Headed to Circuit of the Americas in Dec. and want to be sure I'm in good shape to get the most out of the track. Have about 25% tread remaining and wanted to get thoughts on acceptable/safe minimum tread level for a track day on Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, realizing of course that there are a lot of variables (experience, temp, braking, the track itself). Thanks.

If it's 1 day and you're a novice/intermediate it's fine.

Note: Take a look at the inside edges of the tires as some members have reported cords showing yet the rest of the tread looks fine.

I would get new tires unless you are only doing 1 day and are a beginner. Even then, it would still be beneficial to have new tires since they have a lot less grip when they're that worn.

Get some fresh rubber. COTA is so expensive to run, don't want to get sidelined with a tire issue!
