Re: 60ft Consistency

150 passes on that size tire is done even if they have tread left it doesn't matter the side walls are shot out for sure. Put new shoes on her and see a real improvement. If your car goes side ways in the burnout check and make sure you got enough wheel speed, if you got a 3 step bump it up another ...
