If my rear tyre is slightly squared off will it affect me much at a track day ? The chap in the bike shop said he’d seen far worse but I’m not keen on anything that will make it difficult for me to get running fast, is it worth changing the tyre ? It’s a Pirelli Corsa something or other
Depends how bad it really is, but, you will be cranked right over on the track, well thats the theory, so it probably won’t affect you too much. But if it is going to unnerve you, change it.
I used to track my road bike after much motorway commuting.
Think of the kudos showing off all the lovely bobbles next Borough meet. Tell 'em you did it 9am on the A406 in the rain and revel in the amazed gasps…
If the current wet weather trend continues then I reckon you’ll be better off with the older tyre as a well bobbled track tyre can feel dodgy on wet roads (I’m thinking about after your track day here…)… better to have an old tyre that feels dodgy & replace it than replace a new un… make sense?
