<They are heavy and you have to break a week and a half earlier than
<the BFG's.

I'm on BFG's and my rear is getting handed to me by a couple SS guys on K
tires. One of them, Steve Waters, just won the National class handicap
challenge at the Pro in Indiana.

<They are squishy and the response in quick transitions is slower than
<molasses than the BFG's.

So, you have to steer a little earlier?

<They are not fast out of the box as the BFG's

<They do last wear longer than the BFG's

Do they flat spot and cord as quick as the BFG's?

<They do seem to be very forgiving than the BFG's

In other words, they can make more of us go faster.

<They are cheaper on cost than the BFG's

Let's see, more forgiving, longer lasting, easier to drive and cheaper.
Sounds good to me!

<Overall, they are, well I guess it doesn't matter, at least they are
<round.

Ken, we luv ya baby, but how much does BFG pay you to run down the
competition?
