touring car tyres
 
Having raced modified touring carsfor the first time and loving the speed. Iv came across a problem with tyres and im woundering if anyone has any experience with it.
the problem is the tyres falling apart. I had a tyre fail and car pulling to the side flipping and heading into a fence. Leading to a broken car. On closer inspection there was a chunk of rubber tyre missing on a set of rp30s. I wasnt the only person this happened to. Sorex 32 aswell. I no speed has somthing to do with it but how are the top boys keeping there tyres together. Is it somthing to do with additive and tyre warmers. It was spidergrip orange i was using. Im not sure about the others
Thanks

Carpet or asphalt

Clean tyres after each run, unfortunately this can affect glue so reapply glue regularly, thats all the top boys do, they do only get a few runs out of each set though.
If you want a bit more use foams ( sorry if your thinking sucking eggs but they arn't team drivers for nothing)

tyres don't last forever, softer tyres will wear quicker than harder tyres.
Just keep checking them after every run, you will normally see a band (line) appearing on the edge of the tyre where it is wearing down. When you see this change tyres.

Your problem is simply you are running tyres past their best.
