<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?
