Kevin,
Just wondering.
Does your definition of legal include at least 2/32 of tread depth (across
the whole tire) still remaining (after an event a long way from home where
you got more runs than planned on a more abrasive than you expected
surface) on your otherwise DOT legal REAL street tires that work their
absolute best (in the dry) as close to bald as possible?
I used to drive in Stock and Street Prepared on REAL (bald) STREET tires
before R compound tires. I used to buy takeoff (from Mercedes, Porsche,
etc.) Michelin XWX's ($150 each in the late 1970's) that were close to bald
to get great tires at an almost free price. Tried really hard to never have
to drive on them in the rain.
