Geeez. My rear has never looked that bad. Front looks familiar. I think a lot of it must depend on the track too.

Yea, the only time I've ever had that happen is at bogie, and it happens when I use the blue compound that TPM sells. I managed to get a green front the last time at bogie and for the last two days it held up much better.

oh yea and it only happened on the right side
