Not going, but in answer to your other question, without viewing your tyre it's hard to say, Lydden is a small twisty circuit, so the bike isn't upright much of the time, previously I've used a marginal rear tyre as the wear was mostly on the central core of the tread from road use, fronts are slightly different as they tend to wear on the sides even on road used, if you have any feathering on the sides (last third of tread on either side); I'd change it before as that'll be the bit you're using on the track as well.

Cheers Mark
