Do I need new tires? (*pics*from EVO vs STI thread)

Here are some pics of my Advans after last weekend at Roebling road. Total miles on the track are around 130 over 3 days. They were in much better shape on Friday, the day we ran the STI vs the EVO but after 2 more days at the HPDE they where DONE



The tire on the right was on the right front and the left from the left front. I think a front LSD would help the crazy wear pattern on the right tire. It seems like it was spinning so bad it just boiled the tire.

lol yeah I allready replaced them. Ended up getting some avs sports 245/40. I think they might be a little harder than the advans but the extra width should help balance it out.

Going to try to get some hoosiers for the seat time day to see what it can do on some real rubber. Might be doing some tricky stuff w/ the suspension too.....
