[QUOTE="tonybolton, post: 696461, member: 3432"] Just Big Corp covering their asses. Same stuff goes for any "competition" tire. I have no experience with off road tires like this, but back in the racing days of Hoosiers, Kumho's, BFG R1's and Avon.....they all have a recipe that they WANT you to live by. I would imagine .00034% of people with sticky tires actually follow those guidelines. Short of the people that store their **** in a HVAC'd garage. Basically what they're trying to tell you is to limit the heat cycling of the tires. That is the main killer of sticky/soft tires. I can't remember how many sets of Hoosiers I cussed towards after about 5-7 races. Then you start not giving a **** and soaking them in brake fluid and all kinds of chemical concoctions just to get a few more races out of them only to watch them chunk off to pieces. But hey...you got a full season out of $1200 worth of tires, why would be bitchin!? LMAO Most OLD stickys I've seen have cracks all on the sidewalls....Reds more than SX's. Probably because most Red guys run those tires till they're bald. [/QUOTE]
