The set of Victos that i am currently using are my first set of R compounds that I've ever used. They have about 1/32 - 1.5/32 of tread from the wear grooves that loop the tire. I am just a hair below the wear bars that are embedded in these groves.

Are the tires finished when they get to these grooves or is there still some available tread before chording?

Also the next time I will be using these is at a Speed Ventures DE at Texas World Speedway. I have never been to this track before. Does anyone know how harsh this course is on tire and/ whether or not 1/32 tread from the wear grooves is sufficient tread to last me the weekend (about 8 sessions)?

Thanks in advance
Nick

 

Run 'em to the cord. Old kumho's never die though (at least not quickly....)

 

RJ is right. either just run em til you think they arent grippy enough and got the cash on you to buy a new set or just run em til they are corded and ring up that credit card.
