Here you can see the difference between a brand new tyre and one that's done roughly 2hrs total usage


Notice from hard cornering the tyre has done its job perfectly and the heat (blue) is on the outter edges.
When the tyre has cooled the blue areas become a lot harder, which is then loss of grip.
Also you can see the amount of tread worn away by looking at the difference in tread depth.
The tyre is peeling off, again from heavy use, again this rubber cools quicker then the tyre itself, when this happens the tyre peel sinks into the softer rubber.
If Henry was to use this tyre again under hard conditions he would have a lot less grip as parts of the tyre would warm up quicker then other areas.
