blktrack350 Feb 4, 2009 08:45 AM

wow.

35oZephyR Feb 4, 2009 09:00 AM

Damn man! You can see the ghostly remnants of the directional tread, not to mention the steel belts.

You really let them ride out that low? Just be glad they didn't "pop" and come off, destroying those expensive TE-Time Attacks.

GT47R Feb 4, 2009 09:00 AM

Holy crap!

Entaille Feb 4, 2009 09:03 AM

might I suggest some cheaper tires for drifting in? :d

jubes Feb 4, 2009 09:25 AM

lol omg.. 1k in to the tires and you're already seeing the steel mesh? I think you need a lighter foot LOL

Lawy'dU Feb 4, 2009 09:40 AM

don't really think a chamber kit will help you since the ENTIRE rear tire is bald...

yusoslo Feb 4, 2009 09:42 AM

well they did see about 5 track events 3 auto-x with a lot of sideways action, and 2 times drifting so they held up well.

The car is only driven on weekends so I put the 1,000 miles on the car since Sept 1st

50 % of miles are driving to the track and home
25% are prob events
25% are cruising the town on sundays that it isnt raining.


So it is 1,000 hard miles.

Last month I only put 140 miles on the car

this is why I am powdercoating my OEM tourings (mag blue!!!) and using dedicated tires for those rims. The TA's will be just for cruising the town now. I got very scared and was lucky the rim was OK

O_SO_ICY_Z Feb 4, 2009 08:00 PM

WOW you should swap that cast right foor for a forged one...maybe contact forged performance they can probably help you out with that one!

pony_killer Feb 4, 2009 08:23 PM
