I may be a doom sayer on this but I run in excess of 125mph on a regular basis (track folks NOT street racing). Please take some time and read and be informed as this is going to get ALOT of attention in the near future.


A few articles to see.

Hey Jim, been a while, hope things are good with you, the fam and model plane pilot career. ;) Good read, luckily for me is I have to replace tires every two years.

Things are good Fred, been on the road ALOT lately. Sorry about the bad one, I will fix it post haste! I had to add one as it is a very good bit of info from, well, read it, if you don't understand what they are saying, PLEASE post here for some discussion, it is important! I eat tires as well on most of whet we own. The Jeep gets deep treaded stuff that lasts tooooo long and I have changed them at 3 years twice now and always bore holes in the side walls before tossing them.
