Default Euro road trip trackday ..... tyre advice please :-)

Late september im doing a roadtrip round europe including a day at the ring and a day at spa.

I have two sets of 17's, one on the car with T1r's with not alot of life left and one with some yungkidsjiz or something which are destined for the skip to be replaced with AD08's.

Question im looking for an answer to is will the ad08's last 1000 miles+ with two track days or am i best using the T1r's for the commuting in between and saving the AD08's for the spa and ring days?

Im expecting to eat a set of brake pads in the week, but killing a set of new ad08's too could really hurt the wallet!

So basically, how long do ad08's last?

Cheers.

I dont think its worth gambling with running the AD08s over, tracking them then back again. If you didnt make it you'll be paying through the nose to boot your car again from Flemish Phillipe or Adolf Tyrenkicken.

Yes they'll do fine, Bez did the ring on his and had no problems as far as I've heard.
