Message	since it was mostly a straight road for 4hrs each way and I was running lots of negative camber. The inner edge of the front tires wore a lot faster than the rest of the tire. Other than that, not much issue, even in the rain, but those tires had a pretty good tread for rain for R compounds.

(n/m) - naZeer (Dallas) 20:56:29 01/22/08 should be fine (n/m) - Guapo 20:59:57 01/22/08 If they would even manage to stop you when cold... - zgene4 21:00:37 01/22/08 HT-10's are not nearly as bad as hawk blues in that regard - aliaZ 21:48:52 01/22/08 Indeed. Hell, I've even driven to events on blues. (n/m) - Guapo 21:51:57 01/22/08 My bad. I thought HT-10's were more aggressive - zgene4 22:31:45 01/22/08 they have a higher heat range, but they are less abusive - Guapo 22:50:32 01/22/08 They may be fine, but routine is to change at the track. (n/m) - Scotts94z32 00:32:52 01/23/08 ideally, yes. (n/m) - Guapo 09:42:37 01/23/08 not when its 30 degrees (n/m) - naZeer (Dallas) 19:20:43 01/23/08 Woos. ;) (n/m) - Scotts94z32 12:39:52 01/24/08 Depends. If they have tread, then you can get away with it. - Guapo 20:59:47 01/22/08 Looking at a set of used track wheels that have Nitto - zgene4 21:02:52 01/22/08 You're not talking about driving to Joliet are you? (n/m) - ENVYMYZ 21:09:28 01/22/08 sure am - zgene4 21:22:08 01/22/08 Any way I could get in on some of that smack? (n/m) - ENVYMYZ 00:00:17 01/23/08 NT01s have tread, so you'll be fine outside of rain. - Scotts94z32 00:32:25 01/23/08 Keyword: Dry. - ENVYMYZ 21:08:07 01/22/08 My full tread Rs are GREAT rain tires.
