I have 20k miles on these tires, and the front tires still look brand new...can't say that about the rear tires anymore. Couple minutes of fun means lots of tread life is not gone.

That couple of minutes of fun always comes back to bite ya. So was it worth it now that you see what it did to the tires ?

Thats what happens when you put tires through something they were not designed to do. Reminds me of people complaining about blowing a sidewall offroading while using non offroad tires... |

Well the Castillo De San Marcos was all coquina-it's like concrete almost. I've done donuts in the dirt/grass here with my Terra Grapplers-no issues. |
