I disagree Umai, a decent TCR car will run all 3 races on one set of rear hard compound Michelin tyre's, and I also very much doubt that there will be any real gain on using new sticker, hard compound front tyre's for each race.

We used the medium compound Hankook on our TCR Hyundai in the 3 hour at Pukekohe, and the rear tyre's did the whole 3 hours and still looked in good condition.

We changed the front at just under 2 hours, for 2 new sticker tyre's, and after 1 hour's running they looked hardly worn.

Cheers,

Mark.
