Glad you guys had a good day
Things are good when the car doesn't
break or get bent up and ends up faster in
the end... your head is better when things
go right.. sometimes rare days

We use to rotate the front right tire out
at Thunderhill as it gets a lot of heat and wear
Maybe too many heat cycles that made it hard
I assume you have them heat cycled when you
buy them?? they do last longer

It seems like if the tires are more than a year old
then they seem like stones to me.. I laugh at guys
that keep slicks or Dot road race tires for years
waiting to go to the track... might as well throw
them in the garbage.. safety is also a concern with
old tires

I should have come up and hung out with you guys
My weekend went in a garbage can as my Firebird was
hit in the parking lot.. not too bad.. bent bumper and rear
tail piece that is fiberglass.. was thinking about painting
the tail piece black.. now that it will be off easy to do.. also was thinking
about changing the bumper to fiberglass. rethinking that idea
as when looking for parts the metal back piece is no longer
made and the bumper saved it.. too much thinking sometimes
