Ahh right, not long though is it!

I can't wait to get mine on and scrub some of that rubber off you've got stuck to them! Makes them looked totally fucked but I'm sure they'll be fine!

You can get a hot knife or scraper for the bigger bits. It's just what happens if you don't have a long run home on them after a trackday

I wore some in October that were still lumpy after a drive to Anglesey and half a trackday. I think it is worse when you get them wa on cold days and once you slow down the rubber hardens quicker than usual

It's fine mate, the tread will be there somewhere!

Never got round to putting my winter wheels on, so Cups all year for me. Having said that it's not a daily driver so guess I'm cheating!

Went for a great drive yesterday in it, not pushing hard as temp was apparently about 3-4 degs, and the other half is 8 months pregnant, she reckoned the baby enjoyed the run though!

Still feels so quick to me, I don't use it that much so familiarity has definitely not bred any contempt!

I've got a trackday at combe tomorrow which might be damp/wet....

I'm undecided about using my low tread goodyears or some used cups... Any pointers from someone with experience?

Cheers
