Bought a 200 ff cup in early June with 3.5/4mm of tread (stated in the sale documents) left on the front tyres, just noticed in the car park i'm down to the wear indicator on the front left after only 2,500 miles! I have no way of checking the tread depth whilst i'm in the office, is the indicator a 1.5mm or 2mm indicator?

Cheers.

2mm, give you warning that you have to change them without actually being illegal

Ideal opportunity to get a far superior and cheaper tyre on

Fernandez, they look a bit brutal for tyres that will probably see me through August-Feb (winter)! Maybe next time

On a scale of 1-10 how good are these?

I say around an 8, they are in the same bracket as AD08r's and the 595's. I prefer them over the 595's as they warm up quicker and grip better on track.

The soft compound is for track only really and the mediums for the road.

Obviously there are better tyres out there but it's debatable whether they are are worth the extra £90 per corner.
