If you ever wondered, here’s a quick idea of the difference between my race tires and regular old street tires. (Keep in mind that the race tires are actually DOT street-approved tires.)

• Street tire treadware: 480
• Race tire treadware: 100

100 is the mean - larger numbers have a longer life

Also, I took the new race tires to a local dealer to have them mounted, but to no avail. The sidewall on the old race tires are so stiff that they couldn’t get them the rims. Guess I’ll just have to try another dealer.
