So far, the wear on the stock AO48's has been very similar between front and rear, with about 1200 track and 700 street miles. There is alot of hard braking on my home track.
Thanks for the input.

Shaved = Less Tread = Less Life as you're starting your tyres life closer to being bald....
Put the rubber on, insert air and drive!! If you want the best grip for those lap times put slicks on it.
