yeah thats chunking and shredding. some compounds do that, others granulate. i like nitto 555s because they granulate, i also like falken ziex and st115s. both granulate.

t1-s are awesome for drift but they chunk. they probably have to be shaved in order to perform better.

also that happening to a tire has alot to do with track compound. at DDAY the compound is awesome so expect to get lots of life out of your tires.

haha, yeah that tire is messed, But its still holding air! the one in my trunk from the other night is even worse...

I love the "dreadlocks" on that shredded snowtire though...

did that tire that sounded like it was leaking end up being messed up or ok?

yeah, what size tires do you want? Jake has a set of used 195/50-15's and a set of 195/55-15's that are in pretty good shape. only has 70 series 14" right now though... I think I'll be destroying a set of the 195/70-14 next time we go out because I only have 14" wheels! if they scrape, oh well... it will give me more speed in 2nd gear!
