skid pan & tyre wear?

[krisfl]

Howdo all.

Thinking I might join the club skid pan session at Thurxton this summer and I'm wondering about the likely wear on the tyres.

Obviously its a low friction surface, so it wont be like doing donuts on tarmac, but what should I expect?

Interested to hear from people who've "panned" their Seven 

I have a set of old CR500s which are being taken off for some ZZS around MOT time, but perhaps I should keep them and use them on the skid pan? They have good tread but are VERY old (no side wall cracks - yet... )

The skid pan is very slippery! The chap at Thruxton told me that the cars need little attention during servicing because there is little stress on the components (and tyres). Tyre wear will be minimal.

If the session is booked out then please contact the club office and put your name on the reserve list. We'll open another session if there is enough demand.
