Does anyone else run them besides us? May be an SRF school or someone with a track day car could use them. I suspect I am not the only one who hates to throw away a perfectly good set of tires.

Would also add that, given the strong similarity in tread patterns, it would take a sharp eye to spot the difference in tech.

Ohhhh...my stomach...should I ....I have to. Yes, 12/31/12 they are done.

Suggestions:
1) not printable, but I don't think that part of my anatomy would accept a tire...thanks to those who suggested it for thinking of me though!
2) childs swing
3) 13" small bore production or GT / maybe IT cars. They might find a home after they see how fast they are.

Of course Eric (and the CRB) could give us another year of to try and use them up.
