On my last session at VIR this weekend my front tires started feeling like they were disintegrating in corners, kind of felt like the track/tire being greasy but made a low rumbling noise. Then on the straights the rear tires started kicking up huge chunks of rubber that had me concerned about the driver behind me. I bought these used and have had them out for about 8 track days since, they look ok but my guess is they're toast.
Yeah, this happened in between 2 sessions with about 1.5 hours separating them. They felt great in one session, then felt like they were falling apart the next and I was understeering heavily. I could also have just picked up alot of junk on the track I suppose.
I agree with Finky. I have often run my Hoosiers all the way to chord before I lose grip. Which Hoosiers did you have R3S04 S05 or R6s? I have heard that some early S04's chunking out the shoulders but the S05 and R6's don't have these issues.

Do you have cords showing? I would put them up in your garage and see if they will harden up... It sounds like they got too hot... Driving a little hard????? UHMMMMMM?? :P
I will say... VIR is rough on tires.... from my experience....

Actually on my last session I was having turbo problems so I was just kind of coasting around and letting people pass, maybe they were too cold and picked up junk. There weren't any cords showing as far as I remember.
