Can you watch the rubber come off of those when going down the road?



Luke recommended these tires, as they were brand new to the market, and I told him about my driving style. He said these were the tires for me, and he was right! These things hook up hard, they corner fantastic, they grab hard on braking, and they do it all in the rain. But to answer your question, no, I can't see the tread coming off that fast. They came with really nice, deep grooves, and are probably at 1/2 life. I refuse to put an oddball tire on, but I hate to just throw them all out.

contourfreak22 - I've thought about finding someone who will try and patch the tire, as it's probably an inch away from the corner/sidewall. It's actually on the tread, but not within the steel belts. Discount tire said it's too much of a liability to patch it, and my buddy at Ford said the same. I'm just glad I have a backup plan with the new tires.
