you will get better outright performance from any new tyre if you shave it.....


I'm just saying tread depth isn't the only factor you should consider when buying secondhand tyres:- age, and usage, have a bearing too.....

I know your right in many respects, but it just comes down to the fact that it's much easier buying 2 set's or used CUP's per year at £400-600 than 1 set at £1100-1200 a year

And besides - this is my first set on the CSL so until I get my camber settings and tyre pressure/temperature's under control on track days i'm better of practicing with part worns.

Like Shimmy said it's better to goose a £400 set than a brand new £1100 set just because your learning... he has said in numerous posts recently that if he knew what he knows now (re temp's and pressures) when he bought his CSL he would have saved £1000's in wasted CUP's.
