======================
This wear is only a concern on the race tires.  I'm too lazy to change
the toe setting twice each weekend and I really don't care what happens
to my street tires.  If I have to buy a fresh set of street tires each
year for about $250, then so be it.


See you on course.

You jump in front of my car  When you know all the time
That 90 miles an hour  Girl  Is the speed I drive
You tell me it's all right  You don't mind a little pain
You say you just want me to take you for a drive
