Thanks for all the responses. My tirerack sales rep even called me from this
post. Because I have already head cycled them in a parking lot, it looks like
I can not get them shaved. The consensus seems to be that I don't have much to
worry about, although the next time I buy new tires, shaving seems to be
recommended.
