Just how badly does autocross eat tires?
1 Run= 53 miles of regular driving wear...
Whole thing here...

I love my Falkens
Seriously though, one of my friends with an MR2-S has used his set of Falken Azenis sports as his daily driver tires as well as Autocross and Ocational track days. He's put about 8,000 miles on them and they are just about bald (Great for racing, bad for rain).

autocross realy dosnt have burnouts, its mostly corners that punish the tires.

The outside of my tire... The inside edge is still square...
I'd guess there's at least 40 AutoX runs on them, plus everyday driving.

you've obviously never seen anyone good drive a Mustang at a Auto-X. There was a guy at the last auto-x i went to that got FTOD over the normal fastest guy in a Evo buy almost a full second. Any car can be a good Auto-X car if the driver is good....well almost anycar, but you get the idea.
