I did the TKM festival after 18 months out from racing.

I tested on a set of tyres from S1 PFI last year (18 months old). Surprisingly, I found no time when putting on the brand new tyres for timed quali.

Also, the pace of the tyres didn't seem to drop off through the weekend best times of the weekend in pre-final / final.

So given that everyone is saying they're softer and quicker, why didn't I find any time between a brand new set and an 18 month old set that had been sat in the van through many heat variants of last summer / winter?

If they're really not durable why did the pace in general / my pace improve over the course of a race weekend which was dry all the way through?

I honestly couldn't tell the difference...
