thats the soft compound they use,pretty much standard for sticky tires.

Thats just how they look dude. I would never daily drive on them because you wont ever get your moneys worth. Now if you toss them on just for the weekend street duties, or for the track, they will last quite sometime.

Prime example of a well seasoned drag radial. Looks like you got a set out of a good batch.

about 13-15 in bags and 20-22 in tires and i get a almosy full patch.

I bet traction isnt a problem with those bad boys...Still working on the digs but from a slow first gear punch they dont spin at all.. nittos would.

Yep just did a good 10 second burnout or so on concrete when i got them and after that were very sticky! All my buddys who have these tires love them.

Mine are always smooth...every year. The only ones I ever saw like that were on a guys car who bought them second hand from someone who said they sat in his garage for a couple of years. We figured that they had dried out.
