I'd driven for several years on race tires to events,
and often just onb the street because I liked them.
Lady luck ran out last year when I got two punctures
in as many weeks. Try getting any respectable tire
place to fix a Kumho in the prime of life - i.e. no
tread.
I'd always completely disregarded the 55mph trailer
concept - but lsat season I found myself pulled over,
paced and otherwise annoyed by the CHP. I tried
driving to a few events at 55, and its really, really
hard. I can't drive 55...
