    I've got 4.5 days on my tires (brakes gave out halfway through my most recent day at Autobahn) and I'm not having any problems with traction on either end. These are showing a lot of blue on the right side, though. Do I need to slap a new set of shoes on, or can these still be used?

    You can dump that tire in my trailer. I will "dispose" of it for you. No charge

    I would not change that tire yet. Looks still good just as TLR said.

    Gorilla Do What?

    When I ran Michelins I would run the rears till they were slicks and I would get one front to two rears.

    Thanks fellas! Sounds like I'll keep using these until I have a good reason not to do so.
