Tire wear! (was something else)

That really puzzles me!  Why do people have such opposite experiences with
tire ware at the same site?  We ran a brand new set of Michelins at the
tour.  2 drivers, 12 runs, 1 spectacular spin.  The car weighed in at
3200lbs without the driver, so I wouldn't call it a lightweight.  The tires
were barely used.  In fact, I used the same tires for 15 more really hot
track sessions and I still have life left in them.

So what gives?
