Message	e. On a road coarse, the thick heavy tread of the Bilzzacks will heat up a lot and get really "greasy". Even before that, there will be a lot of squirm in the tread. Often racing tires get shaved down to 4/32" of tread before their very first use to minimize the tread squirm and the resulting heating. You wouldn't go out jogging in your winter boots, would you? - John
