My old 235-50R13 BFG T/A tires mounted on 13x7 American Racing Vectors barely had 500 miles on them when I disassembled the drivetrain over 30 years ago. They still look like new but I've read the rubber has lost its resilience and rendered the tires nearly useless.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Rob Hogan<br></div></div></div>

All pads have a heat range they work well within. If you overheat them you lose braking power and the pad start to turn white. The harder you drive, the harder you use the brakes, the more heat you build up, the better the pads you’ll need and possibly cooling air to the pads. The chore is to find the pad suited to your driving needs.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> I had a problem with the brakes pulling to the right.
