racer,
Thanks for the comments. Another thing I did not mention is that most of the people that run race compound around here, are running pulloffs from other racers. I know that these tires have been through some good heat cycles, so I don't know if they are too cooked or not.
Personally, I am putting some new Metzeler M1's on today.
I plan on taking the class @ Mid-ohio in august.
Thanks again
