Message	I have been looking up more and more on these tires on other sites and sneaking to other forums to see what other people think of them. I happen to see an article somewhere that these tires will chunk, have excessive scuffing, and will get uneven tire wear if they are not properly heated before running hard on the track. This was the only complaint I have heard about these tires other than that they should not be used for highway travel due to excessive wear, though I never saw anyone in any discussion that have said ANYTHING about this type of problem. Since there are a few track runners on this forum that use these tires, I wanted to know if anyone had this issue?
