As mentioned above, very heavy on tyres. I destroyed a set in 3.5 hours, of which 2 hours were wet. make sure you keep enough rubber to get home, as it will ruin your day if you're not prepared.

Thanx for the advice ,I will keep an eye on them,although I have to confess I did get 26k out of a set on an RB5,just road use.So i am not the harshest driver.
