I gave my tires an inspection yesterday, knowing that they were toward the end of their life... I guess they really were! Brooksville had the last bit of life removed... actually, these have a ton of runs on them.
Got to give props to a cheap Harbor Freight tire changer. New (used) set was on in under an hour. That cheap tire changer has paid for itself several times over. I did not think it would be any good for the race tires, but it works fine. NOT recomended for fancy rims, but fine for steel wheels.
