So I put the two best tires on the front, they actually had a little tread. So the one starting to show cords was in back, and I kept my eye on it.
Left rear when I showed up:

In my 3rd and 4th sessions, I locked them shits up yO.... a couple of times. Flatspotted the fronts BAD. Terrible vibrations. Kept running. Then I flatspotted one of the fronts again. Apparently twice is too much.

So THAT'S what the steel cords look like!
The THWAP THWAP THWAP of rubber strips thrashing about was a bit too much to ignore, so I came in and switched to my other set. Here's all the tires when I was done with them:

Neato! A fun lesson. As you can see, the first layer of nylon is no concern. There's more rubber, then another nylon layer, then rubber, then steel, and even more rubber past that. Yay! I think I got my $$'s worth out of this set. :wink:
