How long do your race tires last?

I did this season(5 Rounds) on 1 front and 2 rear Dunlop slicks only. Finished 3rd in both AM600 and Lost Era. I only seem to spin the rear a lot on modified track and don't push the front often.

I had to replace the front at Round 2 because something in the sidewall broke and it bulged out real weird. Last season I went 5 rounds on an already scrubbed front until I replaced it(still had loads or rubbed but wouldn't turn worth a damn anymore). I replaced the rears every 3 rounds but have only ever had one go off really bad in a race which did cost me a win imo.

Can't really say what I do right or wrong as I don't seem to use anywhere near as many tires as a lot of other people but it seems to work for me. I don't ever do friday practice and only usually go out for one or two sessions of practice on Sat/Sundays so that could be part of it.

Or all of the reason. If you don't turn laps you won't use rubber.
 
hahaha! I have the same issue.......... I dont use any tires until i start doing laps???? its the strangest thing.

I put 9 litres in my 400 on the way to the track and I don't have to add any more during the weekend! Plain ordinary Shell 91, too.

I think the cbr125s will do the whole endurance race - slowly - on one tank ...
