Track Driving AutoX tire wear

213e90n51 · 04-04-2020, 04:27 AM

I have a 2009 328i with michelin pilot sport as3+ and I want to know if anyone ever autox on a allseason tire before but also how long did it last? I went to one track day and i was on summer tires but if I went to lets say a track like Streets of Willow, will i be able to drive home after sessions? The tires have around 6000 miles on it.

With 20 minute sessions, the tires will heat up and get gummy feeling towards the middle to end of your session. You should be OK with 4 sessions with enough tread to get home if you drive relatively smoothly (not hanging the tail out).

The AS3+ are a high performance AS tire, I wouldn't be worried about taking them to a track to get your feet wet.

You will not wear your tires out enough in one track day, you will be fine.
