Tyre Help

[Pepi1677]

I need a bit of help. My 996 C2 tyres are Pirelli '0''s the fronts have around 3-4mm the rear are close to 1.6mm.

Clearly I need to change them, the reason I am asking for help is that I am due to do a Track day in June and I seem to recall reading somewhere that it is not advisable to do a track day on new tyres.

What are your thoughts, I am thinking of changing all 4 as the fronts whilst having 3-4mm do not look to cleaver after my last track day at Silverstone Gp circuit.

Tyres take at least 200miles to "run in" Giving them beans too early can A. be slippy as the release agent won't have worn off & B. can spin the tyres on the rims because the soap they use to fit them won't have worn off.

Thanks to every one for there help, I have ordered 2 new rears and will replace the fonts after the track day. I will be able to do around 300 miles before the rears hit the track
