buggy tires durability
just wondering how long 1/8 scale nitro buggy tires last. i know it depends on compound and track and all but what would be average time with smooth driving. im thinking of racing nitro buggy next season but i read somewhere that the tires wear out very quickly and i dont want to replace tires every race. if i get a buggy i will be mostly using GRP tires.

I usually end up using 1 set of tires for 9 - 12 qualifiers @ 7mins each, plus 3 or 4 mains of 20 minutes, plus a little practice time in between. After that they are practice tires. Basically it was 3 - 4 race weekends for me. They lasted a lot longer when I was running a RB 3 Port engine then when I went to the WS7-3 though...
