Most people will use a new set of ZZs every year for the 6, but we had a very wet race one year and wear was less than usual! Your car is FWD so obviously will treat its tyres differently to a RWD 60s GT. Certain rear drive cars that put a lot of weight on one wheel, such as an FIA 911, can require that tyre replacing, but unlikely in 3hrs. That could be a problem on the left front of a FWD car as well, but again, you’re only doing 3hrs.....
Generally the ZZ will result in a slightly quicker lap time than an equivalent Dunlop crossply around Spa in the dry, and quicker still in the wet. On a RWD car the radial will be more resistant to drifting, and maybe make the car understeer more. I can’t tell you how they will change your particular FWD car, though!
Hope that all makes sense....
