Tires...what are you running?
My Backdraft has a set of BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires on it. They only have about 5,000 miles on them, but are ten years old. Apparently when new they were made of banana skins and have not gotten any better with age. Well, that was a little harsh. I remember when these tires were one of the right answers, but Lordy, that was a LONG time ago. What are you running in 2015? Wait, let me give you enough info to answer...I am a 50 year old responsible citizen that has been a car guy since age 14 when I got my first car, a 1966 Mustang. I am not a racer anymore. I drive pretty easy these days but still require decent stickiness as well as a high speed rating because even at my advanced age I still bend to peer pressure and have to put the spurs to the car now and again largely at my friends requests. Tread life is not really that important...this is just a toy. I don't have a top or windows, so wet weather performance is not really a consideration for me. So what is working for you?
