So I bought these new tires.
Funny thing was they had a treadwear rating of "0".
Someone told me before I go racing with these new tires to heat 'em up real good. Well, the locals had this thing called FlashLight Drags(www.flashlightdrags.com) and I figured an airport would be a good place to heat these new tires up and break them in.
The night before I had washed the car and polished it clean - and I can tell you that those rear bumper skirts were clean as a whistle. Well, after the day at the airport, they are covered in rubber!
Perhaps, and this is just a theory, in my judicious attempt to follow directions, I heated them up too much and the centrifugal force from the high rpms of the rear wheel caused molten chunks of rubber to be deposited on my shiny paint behind the rear wheels.
I asked for evidence from some eye witnesses and was sent some videos. You can find them here... Photo Albums.
